Summary

Unique, bizarre, and often controversial, Andy Warhol in life and in death bridged the gap between high art and the ordinary, creating works that explored almost every artistic genre. During the 1960s inside a studio in New York known as The Factory, the birth of Pop Art took place at the hands of Andy Warhol, the Pied Piper of New York's underground. His representations of Campbell's Soup cans, dollar bills, Brillo boxes, Marilyn Monroe and car crashes, epitomized the American popular culture of his age and constituted one of the most significant revolutions in the art world. This work tells the life of one of the greatest cultural icons of the 20th century.
