Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was an American artist and a leading figure in the Pop Art movement, who explored themes of consumerism, mass production, celebrity culture, and the blurred line between art and commerce. Warhol worked across a wide range of mediums, with some of his most iconic works being created using silkscreen printing, a technique that allowed him to reproduce images multiple times, emphasising repetition and the mechanical nature of modern life. As well as this, Warhol ventured into film and video, creating avant-garde works. Warhol’s works are held in major museums and galleries worldwide, including MoMA, Tate Modern and the Pompidou Centre. In 2022, Andy Warhol’s ‘Shot Sage Blue Marilyn’ sold for $195 million at Christie’s, setting the record for the most expensive 20th-century artwork ever sold at auction.
