Andrew Warhol is pop artist who is still the most famous in all over the world.
Andrew Warhol was born August 6, 1928 in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. He was the third child of his parents. Warhol's parent immigrated to the U.S.A in 1914. His father worked in a coal mine.
He was the only son of his family to attend college. He graduated from Carnegie Tech with the degree in design. He moved to New York City to try at commercial illustration.
Andy Warhol is more than an ordinary artist. He was a film maker, author, magazine publisher, music promoter, collector, and cultural critic. No matter what his choose medium, the work of Andy Warhol always shocked and influenced popular culture and popular art in modern America.
On June 3, 1968, Valerie Solanas who is his model shot Warhol at Warhol's studio. Solanas was arrested from the assault. She said that "He had too much control about my life". But he was not dead in that time. Strangely his dead was when he have an operation for appendicitis because of an anesthetic.
P.S - I guess that you must expect my wikipost about british artist Damien Hirst.
