Andy Warhol Art
American, 1928-1987
The name of American artist Andy Warhol is all but synonymous with Pop art, the movement he helped shape in the 1960s. He was phenomenally prolific, and the archive of original photography, prints, drawings, paintings and other art that he left behind is beyond vast.
Andy Warhol is known for his clever appropriation of motifs and images from popular advertising and commercials, which he integrated into graphic, vibrant works that utilized mass-production technologies such as printmaking, photography and silkscreening. Later in his career, Warhol expanded his oeuvre to include other forms of media, founding Interview magazine and producing fashion shoots and films on-site at the Factory, his world-famous studio in New York.
Born and educated in in Pittsburgh, Warhol moved to New York City in 1949 and built a successful career as a commercial illustrator. Although he made whimsical drawings as a hobby during these years, his career as a fine artist began in the mid-1950s with ink-blot drawings and hand-drawn silkscreens. The 1955 lithograph You Can Lead a Shoe to Water illustrates how he incorporated in his artwork advertising styles and techniques, in this case shoe commercials.
As a child, Warhol was often sick and spent much of his time in bed, where he would make sketches and put together collections of movie-star photographs. He described this period as formative in terms of his skills and interests. Indeed, Warhol remained obsessed with celebrities throughout his career, often producing series devoted to a famous face or an object from the popular culture, such as Chairman Mao or Campbell’s tomato soup. The 1967 silkscreen Marilyn 25 embodies his love of bright color and famous subjects.
Warhol was a prominent cultural figure in New York during the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s. The Factory was a gathering place for the era’s celebrities, writers, drag queens and fellow artists, and collaboration was common. To this day, Warhol remains one of the most important artists of the 20th century and continues to exert influence on contemporary creators.

Questions About Andy Warhol Art
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe is worth around $195 million. That's how much the silk-screen portrait sold for at an auction in 2022. The sale made history, as the price tag was a new record for the American Pop artist. Warhol's Marilyn series sought to critique society's fixation with glamor and fame, themes he returned to many times during his career. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Andy Warhol art.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024Many art lovers believe that Andy Warhol art is a good investment. While trends in collecting come and go, demand for the Pop artist's works has remained high for decades, so prices for his pieces tend to continuously increase in value.

It’s worth noting that collecting should reflect your personal tastes, and whether or not a given Warhol work is a good investment will depend upon a range of factors such as condition, rarity and more. Buyers should keep in mind that the value of any investment is subject to fluctuation, and any investment decisions should be made according to the guidance of a financial advisor.
Find an assortment of Andy Warhol art on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024Andy Warhol painted Marilyn Monroe as a commentary on the media and celebrity culture. The American artist was quick to jump on mass media’s penchant for treating glamour and tragedy with equal weight. Monroe’s suicidal overdose in 1962 was ideal fodder, and he reproduced her visage dozens of times, first painting the canvas with splotches of pigment to denote her hair, eyeshadow and lips, then printing the black photographic silkscreen, taken from a 1953 publicity still, on the surface, either alone, doubled or repeated in a grid. By reproducing her image, Warhol sought to show how Monroe's fame and status as a sex symbol transformed her from being an individual person to a mass-market commodity. His work provided a sharp rebuke to the media's obsessive intrusion into the lives of celebrities. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Andy Warhol art.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024There are more than 9,000 Andy Warhol paintings. The American Pop artist also produced more than 12,000 drawings and more than 19,000 prints.

- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024How much an Andy Warhol painting is worth depends on its size, subject matter, condition and other factors.
