ANDY WARHOL (1928-1987)

ARTIST BIO INQUIRE
 
It is remarkable the speed with which the art world embraced Andy Warhol after July 1962 when his paintings of thirty-six paintings of Campbell's Soup Cans were displayed at The Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles. Among his last hand-painted works, Warhol soon discovered silkscreen, the medium with which he is most closely associated. Whereas the handcrafted soup-can paintings look mechanically produced, the silkscreen was a mechanical and commercial process that enabled Warhol to produce unlimited precise repetitions and variations of key subjects. As one of the 32 original varieties, Vegetable remains a pop culture phenomenon, turning up on everything from plates and mugs to neckties, t-shirts, and surfboards.
