One of the most famous artists, well-beyond his oft-quoted "15 minutes," Andy Warhol made pop culture his medium. Born Andrew Warhola in 1928 in Pittsburgh, Warhol first made a name for himself as a commercial artist, quickly becoming one of the most successful illustrators of his time. He won numerous awards for his work from the Art Directors Club and the American Institute of Graphic Arts, and his clients included Tiffany & Co., The New York Times, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, NBC, and others. It was in the late 1950s that he focused more of his attention on his painting. His first Pop paintings, based on comics and ads, made in 1961, and a series of Campbell's Soup Cans painted in 1962, created a sensation in the art world and launched Warhol as a celebrity. His iconic studio, painted silver and known as the Factory, became the place to be in New York. Surrounding himself with an ever-rotating group of hipsters and starlets like The Rolling Stones, The Velvet Underground and Edie Sedgwick, he also extended his talents into other fields such as film, publishing, writing, television, and music. Except for a brief period in the mid-1960s, he would continue to paint until the end of his life. He was a mentor and inspiration to such artists as Jean-Michel Basquiat, and by the time of his death, he was one of the most prolific and well-known artists the world had ever seen.
