No artist has played as influential a role in the last 50 years of art-making as Andy Warhol. The father of Pop Art, Warhol bridged the gap between commercial goods and fine art, assembly line methods and fine art techniques. Appropriation, repetition, celebrity, sexuality, reality – Warhol's chosen artistic subjects are not all that different from those dominating the art world fifty years later. His vision confounded popularity and genius, forever altering the course of art.
