Biography
The American pop art artist Andy Warhol was born on August 6, 1928, as Andrew Warhola in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His parents are Czechoslovakian immigrants. He first studied to become a window dresser before studying art history, visual design, sociology, and psychology at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh from 1945 to 1949. Afterwards, he moved to New York, where he was thereafter called Andy Warhol.
Until 1960, Warhol worked as a freelance advertising graphic designer for fashion magazines, as an illustrator, and as a window display painter. The Art Directors Club awarded him medals in 1952 and 1957 for his newspaper advertisement designs. In 1952, the first exhibition of Andy Warhol took place at the Hugo Gallery, titled 'Fifteen Drawings Based on the Writings of Truman Capote.'
In 1962, the first series appeared with 'Campbell's Soup Cans' and 'Coca-Cola Bottles', screen-printed with the motif of dollar bills. His studio, where numerous friends and assistants collaborate, is called the 'Factory' by Andy Warhol. His art is characterized by the use of well-known motifs or symbols from everyday mass culture, and he also employs mechanical serial production methods, such as screen printing, which were previously considered non-artistic.
In 1962, Andy Warhol participated in the exhibition 'The New Realists' in New York. In the following years, Warhol's choice of subjects grew darker. Series emerged featuring images of death and disasters. Using screen printing and deliberately choosing the poor image quality of newspaper prints, he focused on airplane crashes, traffic accidents, crime, and nuclear explosions. With his cardboard and wooden sculptures, which precisely imitate commercial packaging, Warhol criticized consumer and mass culture. Through his works, Andy Warhol shaped pop art.
In the 1960s, Andy Warhol also engaged with the medium of film. He developed a unique film aesthetic through simple techniques, long, stationary camera angles, and the absence of cutting and editing. In 1963, the silent films 'Sleep,' 'Kiss,' and 'Eat' were made, and in 1964, 'Empire.' The following sound films, such as 'Chelsea Girl' from 1966, were also shown at the Cannes Film Festival. From 1966 onwards, Andy Warhol also collaborated with the rock band 'Velvet Underground' on shows for nightclubs.
In the 1970s, the pop art artist produced Polaroid photos of celebrities in screen printing on canvas, including portraits such as 'Elvis Presley' (1964), 'Jackie Kennedy' (1965), 'Marilyn Monroe' (1967), and 'Mao Tse Tung' (1972).
In 1968, Andy Warhol was shot and critically wounded by Valerie Solanas. In 1984, Warhol collaborated on projects with artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Francesco Clemente.
Andy Warhol died on February 22, 1987, in New York.
