Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol to this day remain one of the world most inspiration artists in contemporary art. He worked with all different types of media. He lead the way in Pop Art. He coined the phrase "15 minutes of fame". He started out doing illustration art for commercial, which proved to be very successful career for him. I love his use of bright vibrant colors. His images with repetitions in four square but different colors can still be seen today, so even with him gone he still has a very strong presence in today's art. In researching him i found out that his Eight Elvises sold for $100 million and that only six other artist have ever achieved that mark.
