Andy Warhol (/ˈwɔrhɒl/; born Andrew Warhola; August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987) was an American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art (nonfiction).
His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture, and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s.
After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became a renowned and sometimes controversial artist.
Warhol's art used many types of media, including hand drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, silk screening, sculpture, film, and music.
He was also a pioneer in computer-generated art using Amiga computers that were introduced in 1984, two years before his death.
He coined the widely used expression fifteen minutes of fame.
