Andy Warhol Museum

Description

The Andy Warhol Museum is America’s largest museum dedicated to a single artist. The museum strives to be a dynamic art center and resource for anyone who wishes to gain insight into contemporary art and popular culture.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was a painter, printmaker and filmmaker who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous worldwide for his work as a painter, avant-garde filmmaker, record producer, author and public figure known for his membership in wildly diverse social circles that included bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy aristocrats.
