Andy Warhol
American - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
August 6, 1928 - Feb. 22, 1987

Overview:
To look at an Andy Warhol piece is to have one's mind challenged. Warhol's pieces are nothing if not thought provoking--even if the viewer is left in doubt as to what he or she should think when confronted by such works. Warhol achieved the difficult dual task of leaving an indelible mark on popular culture even as he commented on it.

When Andy Warhol is mentioned, many people think of Campbell's Soup. Warhol's "100 Cans" is one of his most famous and popular works. The title, in this case, really says it all--without saying anything. The piece simply displays 100 Campbell's Soup cans in rows of 10. While the subject may seem uninspiring to some, the implicit commentary about consumer culture is fascinating to many others.

Here at Art Auction Fundraiser.com, we stock prints of all of Warhol's most influential pieces. Hanging a reproduction of an Andy Warhol piece--particularly one based on reproduction itself--in your study or living room is perhaps the most fitting tribute to the man and his art that one could make.
