ANDY WARHOL© 2023, David Benrimon Fine Art info@benrimon.com www.davidbenrimon.com 212-628-1600 The Fuller Building 41 East 57th Street, 2nd Floor New York, NY 10022 BIOGRAPHY One cannot think of Brillo boxes and Campbell’s Soup cans without thinking of Andy Warhol. Pop Art has become what it is today thanks to legendary artist Andy Warhol’s obsession with celebrity and consumer culture. This fascination led him to create some of the most distinguishable works of art in the 20th century, such as portraits of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis. Born in 1928 as Andrew Warhola in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the artist started his creative career in the 1950’s as a successful commercial artist for magazines and advertisements. Warhol utilized mechanical repetition to reference mass production, everyday consumerism, and pop culture. He became a pioneer of the Pop Art movement in New York City, which spread to the rest of the world. In 1962, Warhol would present one of his most infamous collections: thirty-two paintings of red and white soup cans, which shifted the art world’s perception of the subject matter. That same year the artist would incorporate photographic silkscreen printmaking into his creative repertoire, which is now synonymous with the Pop Art icon. Supermarket items and everyday consumer goods were not Warhol’s only muses, although most synonymous with the artist’s name. In 1967 Warhol would launch his print publishing company, Factory Additions, where he would produce screenprints of just about everything from cans of soup to Perrier bottles and Marilyn Monroe to Chairman Mao. Warhol’s masterful, innovative, and transformative printmaking practice blurs the line between painting, and printmaking; fi ne art and advertisement. His international fame brought Warhol hundreds of commissions from socialites and celebrities and made parties at his silver-painted studio into the place to be through the 1970s. With work that simultaneously satirized and celebrated materiality and fame, and a voyeuristic personality with a clear taste for money and infl uence, Warhol shaped many subsequent generations of artists. Just last year, “Shot Sage Blue Marilyn’’ sold for over $195 million, a record for the artist, and the second highest price ever realized for an artwork at auction. His works are among the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Moderna Musset, Stockholm; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and many others.Endangered Species (F. & S.
