# Andy Warhol

> He turned soup cans and Marilyn Monroe into high art, then predicted everyone would be famous for 15 minutes. Warhol made repetition into philosophy and the Factory into a scene, collapsing the wall between commerce and gallery until Pop art became the language of the late 20th century.

## Bio

Born to working-class Rusyn immigrants in Pittsburgh in 1928, Andrew Warhola Jr. started as a commercial artist in New York before crossing into fine art with his early silkscreens—Campbell's Soup Can, Marilyn Diptych, Coca-Cola (3)—all from 1962. By the mid-1960s he'd moved into experimental film (Blow Job, Empire, Chelsea Girls) and turned his studio, the Factory, into a rotating carnival of drag queens, poets, bohemians, and Warhol superstars; he managed the Velvet Underground and staged the Exploding Plastic Inevitable multimedia events. After surviving an assassination attempt in 1968, the Factory became a business: he founded Interview, published The Philosophy of Andy Warhol and Popism, painted Mao and Athletes and Last Supper, sat for commissioned portraits, launched two TV shows, and kept obsessive diaries of his social life. He died of cardiac arrhythmia at 58 in 1987, days after gallbladder surgery, leaving a market in his wake—Shot Sage Blue Marilyn sold for $195 million in 2022, the highest price ever paid for an American artist at auction.
