He is best known for his works that explore the relationship between artistic expression, culture, and consumerism. Warhol famously used mass production techniques, such as silkscreen printing, to replicate images of celebrities and everyday consumer products. His iconic subjects include figures like Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and everyday items like Campbell's soup cans. One of his most famous pieces is "Shot Orange Marilyn" (1964), part of his Marilyn Monroe series. After Monroe’s death in 1962, Warhol began producing multiple images of the actress using his silkscreen technique, which allowed for the repetition of her face in different vibrant color palettes. "Shot Orange Marilyn" is part of the “Shot Marilyns” series, named after an incident in which a visitor to Warhol’s studio shot a gun at several of the Monroe canvases. Despite this, the damaged works became highly prized. Warhol's Marilyn portraits are seen as both a celebration of Monroe's glamorous persona and a commentary on the commercialization of celebrity culture. The use of bold colors and repeated imagery reflects Warhol's fascination with fame and the ephemeral nature of stardom. As for the value of Warhol's works, they are some of the most sought-after in contemporary art. In recent years, his Marilyn series has fetched tens of millions of dollars at auction. For example, his piece "Shot Sage Blue Marilyn" sold for $195 million in 2022, setting a record as one of the most expensive artworks ever sold. This reflects both Warhol's enduring legacy and the high demand for his iconic representations of American pop culture. Warhol's legacy continues to influence both the art world and popular culture, and his works remain symbols of the blending of art with commerce and celebrity.
