ANDY WARHOL Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was a commercial artist and illustrator whose success allowed him the freedom to pursue ideas about art, celebrity, mass media and culture that placed him at the center of American Modernism at its height in the 1960s. His most original paintings, prints and sculptures were
produced in the period between 1961 and when he was shot in 1968. The next year, Warhol founded Interview magazine and for the remaining 19 years of his life, Warhol became a beneficiary—and an object—of his own fetishization of fame. He died in 1987 from complications arising during gallbladder surgery.
