His left hand makes a gesture resembling a pistol, pointing at himself, reflecting indifference towards American politics.Andy Warhol, a renowned American Pop Art master, was born on August 6, 1928, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, and passed away on February 22, 1987, in New York, USA. He is regarded as one of the most famous figures in the 20th-century art world. Besides being a leading figure in Pop Art, he was also a filmmaker, writer, rock music composer, and publisher, and a star artist in New York’s social and art circles.Andy Warhol created over 10,000 works in his lifetime. Most of his works are housed in world-class museums and art galleries, while a small number have entered the hands of major collectors through international auctions (such as Sotheby’s and Christie’s).Comments from the global art community on him: His works highlight a sense of irony and calmness, depicting simple, clear, and recurring things, breaking the boundaries between eternity and greatness; breaking the boundaries between handicrafts and mass production, Dadaism and Minimal Art, painting and photography, canvas and film. He added a tragic touch to mediocrity and made tragedy seem commonplace. He destroyed the hierarchy of "artistic" images, eliminated the arbitrary boundaries that define "art", and bridged the two types of art: the refined and the popular.
