Collectors will also find deep discounts on retail prices for items like the white haired artist’s Campbell Soup Can and a serigraph of Marilyn Monroe 9. Born Andrew Warhola, Andy Warhol received his graphic design training at Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1949. Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he moved to New York and began his career as a commercial illustrator and developed ads for a department store in New York. By 1955, he had become the most influential and successful commercial artist in New York. His first exhibition was in 1962, at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles, which included all 32 of his Campbell’s Soup Can renditions. His name is synonymous with the Pop Art movement and his works not only mirrored the changing climate of the American condition, it also reflecting the growing prevalence of mass-produced culture. His roots as a commercial artist permeated his art and completely revolutionized the artist approach to production and mainstream media. As one of the top membership insider access sites online, Gilt has previously featured works from artists Dali, Picasso, Chagall, Koons and Hirst.
