Andy Warhol Big Banana Sliceform Paper Sculpture

Andy Warhol (1928–1987) was the leading figure of Pop Art. Born in Pittsburgh, he began as a commercial illustrator in New York before turning the imagery of consumer culture and celebrity — Campbell's soup cans, Brillo boxes, Marilyn Monroe — into some of the most recognisable art of the 20th century. His studio, the Factory, became a hub for artists, musicians and filmmakers, and his silkscreens, films and publishing reshaped the line between fine art and commerce.
