ANDY WARHOL

Andy Warhol’s (1928–1987) work embodies New York in the 1960s and 1980s. Warhol blurred the lines between his art and the reality that inspired it by copying the recognizable aesthetics of mass media, advertising, and celebrity culture, resulting in images that have become as ubiquitous as their origins.

Warhol was raised in a working-class Pittsburgh neighborhood. His parents were Slovak immigrants, and he was the family’s sole college graduate. In 1945, he enrolled at Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University) to study graphic design. He traveled to New York with fellow student Philip Pearlstein after graduation and found stable employment as a commercial illustrator at a number of publications, including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and the New Yorker. Warhol had a successful commercial art career in the 1950s, receiving multiple awards from the Art Directors Club and the American Institute of Graphic Arts. In 1952, he held his first solo exhibition at the Hugo Gallery, which featured drawings inspired by Truman Capote’s writings; three years later, his work was included in a group display at the Museum of Modern Art for the first time.
