Referring to himself as a re-creator, rather than a creator, Andy Warhol (1923 - 1987) established himself as a Pop Art icon through his iconic multiple silkscreened images of Campbell's soup cans. Produced in a studio called The Factory, Warhol's repetitive soup cans, Coca Cola bottles and dollar bills represented mass production and assembly line objects that demand quick recognition and consumption. Warhol's soup cans created a sensation in the art world and launched him as an international celebrity. Andy Warhol's pioneering Pop Art defined a decade and a culture, distinguishing him as one of the most influential, creative and prolific artists of the 20th century. Originally the most sought-after commercial artist in New York, Warhol (1928 - 1987) is most known for his multiple images of Campbell's Soup cans, Coke bottles, dollar bills and celebrities, which exalted the beauty within ordinary objects and familiar images. Working out of a studio called The Factory, he invented the silkscreening process which enabled him to mass produce a single image in his signature style. Warhol was also a talented filmmaker, music producer, commercial illustrator, author and magazine publisher.
