Andy Warhol (August 6, – February 22, ) was an American artist, filmskapare, and producer. He was a pionjär of the pop art movement.
His works cover a number of mediums, including painting, silk-screening, photography, film, and sculpture, and examine the link between creative expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that blossomed in the s.
Warhol began his career as a successful commercial illustrator. He gained fame as an important and contentious artist in the late s after displaying his work in many galleries.
By the early s, pop art had developed into an experimental style that a number of artists adopted independently; some of these pioneers, such as Roy Lichtenstein, would eventually become associated with the genre.

Under konvalescensen började Andy att teckna, samla på kort på filmstjärnor och lyssna på radio med sin mor. Hans mamma lärde sig aldrig engelska och var djupt troende ortodox – något som påverkade Andys konstsmak.
