Artistic legend and cultural icon Andy Warhol shown against a paint splash background with the distinctive statement 'Art is what you make it'. Andrew Warhola, better known as Andy Warhol, was an American artist who was a central figure in the movement known as Pop art. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous worldwide for his work as a painter, an avant-garde filmmaker, a record producer, an author, and a public figure known for his presence in wildly diverse social circles that included bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy aristocrats. A controversial figure during his lifetime (his work was often derided by critics as a hoax or 'put-on'), Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions, books and documentary films since his death in 1987.
