Description
Many people know that Andy Warhol (1928-87) was an American painter and silk screen artist, a Pop Art pioneer whose works include 'Campbell's Soup Cans' and 'Marilyn Diptych'. What, perhaps, they don't know is that he made 32 of those soup can canvases; that his work 'Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster) sold in 2013 for $105 million; that he created 600 time capsules of objects from his life; and that he owned 100 wigs, one of which fetched over $10,000 at auction. Biographic: Warhol presents much more than five minutes of his life, work and fame, with an array of irresistible facts and figures converted into infographics to reveal the artist behind the pictures.
