Andy Warhol stands at the center of American Pop art, the figure through whom the vocabulary of mass production entered painting. Working from advertising, publicity photographs, and consumer packaging, he built a body of silkscreens whose repetition and mechanical surface redefined what authorship could mean in art. His Campbell's Soup Cans and Marilyn series are held in the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Tate, and his studio, the Factory, reshaped how art, film, and celebrity intersected through the 1960s. The works gathered here, among them screenprints, drawings, and photographs, trace the breadth of a practice that moved fluidly between commerce and the canvas. His influence remains foundational for the generations of artists who followed.
