The Prince of Pop Art




         By Kate Gladkova, RIMO-202.
WHAT IS ALL THIS ABOUT?



The goal of this presentation is
to share my interest about one
of the greatest artists of the 20th
century with you. As you
already see I’m going to tell you
the story of Andy Warhol.
THESE ARE SOME QUOTATIONS OF ANDY HIMSELF AND HIS FRIENDS.


LET’S SEE HIS STORY TO UNDERSTAND WHETHER IT’S TRUE OR NOT.



                          “I am a
                           deeply
                         superficial
                          person”




                                           “I like
           “a true                        boring
         workaholic”                      things”




                         “I am from
                          nowhere”
Born Andrew   Warhola in a working class
suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on August
6th 1928 to Slovak immigrants (Ondrej and
Julia Warhola [Varchola in Slovakia]). Warhol
showed an early interest in photography and
drawing, attending free classes at Carnegie
Institute.
Warhol came down with St.
Vitus' dance in third grade,
an affliction of the nervous
system causing involuntary
movements which is
believed to be a
complication of scarlet
fever. He was frequently
bed-ridden as a child and
became an outcast
amongst other students.
When in bed he drew a lot,
listened to the radio and
collected pictures of movie
stars.
Years later Warhol
described the period of
his sickness as very
important in the
development of his
personality and in the
forming of his skill-set and
preferences.
Lots of his works were devoted
to Marilyn Monroe.
Upon  graduation, Warhol moved to New York which
was the perfect place for an illustrator to make a living.
He became well-known for his whimsical ink drawings
done in a loose, blotted ink style.



He    also did advertising and window displays for retail
stores such as Bonwit Teller and I. Miller. Ironically, his
first assignment was for Glamour magazine for an
article titled "Success is a Job in New York."
A TURNING POINT IN
WARHOL'S CAREER


In the 1960s Warhol began to make paintings of
American products such as Campbell's Soup Cans &
Coca-Cola bottles and comic strips like Superman &
Popeye. Starting in 1962 he began making silkscreens
of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Troy
Donahue, and Elizabeth Taylor by using enlarging
photographs and transferring the images onto his
canvases using a projector.
Installation of Campbell's Soup
Cans - 1962                       Triple Elvis - 1963
THE FACTORY.


Consequently      he founded The Factory in 1962. It was
an art studio where he employed in a rather chaotic
way "art workers" to mass produce mainly prints and
posters but also other items like shoes designed by the
artist. The Factory included a wide range of artists,
writers, musicians and underground celebrities. The
first location of the Factory was in 231 E. 47th Street,
5th Floor (between 1st & 2nd Ave) in New York City.
“typical” factory moment
In 1968 Valerie Solanas, a periodic factory
            visitor, and the sole member of SCUM
            (Society for Cutting Up Men) walked into the
            Factory and shot Warhol. The attack was
            near fatal and he was briefly declared dead
            (doctors opened his chest and massaged his


BAD TIMES   heart to help stimulate its movement again).



FOR ANDY.   Warhol barely survived. He never fully
            recovered and for the rest of his life had to
            wear a bandage to prevent his injuries from
            worsening. Years later, his wounds would still
            occasionally bleed after he overexerted
            himself.
In 1970s Warhol's activities became more and more
entrepreneurial. He started the magazine Interview and
even a night-club. In 1974 the Factory was moved to
860 Broadway. In 1975 Warhol published "The
philosophy of Andy Warhol (from A to B and Back
Again)".

He  began the 1980's with the publication of POPism:
The Warhol '60s. He also began work on Andy
Warhol's TV, a series of half hour of video programs
patterned after Interview magazine.
"I love Los
Angeles. I love
Hollywood.
They're so
beautiful.
Everything's
plastic, but I love
plastic. I want to
be plastic."
FEBRUARY 22ND 1987.



Following routine gall bladder surgery, Andy Warhol
died of complications during his recovery
SOME STATISTICS.




The Warhol market is
considered the bellwether
of post-war and
contemporary art for
many reasons.
SO WHAT HE WAS LIKE?


   a religious man

had    a bizarre personality

was extremely eccentric as he
grew older

obsessed by the ambition to
become famous

loved cats and he sometimes
made images of them in his
artworks for his personal collection
AFTER HIS DEATH

In May 1994 the Andy Warhol Museum opened in his
home town Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.


Warhol had so many possessions that it took nine days
to auction his estate after his death; the auction
grossed more than US$20 million.

In 1987 in accordance with his will the foundation was
established. It’s mission is the advancement of the
visual arts.
"People need to be made
more aware of the need to
work at learning how to live
because life is so quick and
sometimes it goes away too
quickly." - Andy Warhol
