Andrew Warhola (August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987), more commonly known as Andy Warhol, was an American artist and a figure in the movement known as pop art. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous worldwide for his work as a painter, avant-garde filmmaker, record producer, author, and public figure known for his membership in wildly diverse social circles that included bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy aristocrats.
Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions, books, and feature and documentary films.
Warhol originated the concept of "15 minutes of fame", which refers to the fleeting condition of celebrity that attaches to an object of media attention, then passes to some new object as soon as the public's attention span is exhausted.

He said "In the future everybody will be world famous for about 15 minutes." I feel he has commarce brains by art to combine life. He used silk screen to make many different colors works. His famous over15 minutes...he effect whole world until now. I like pop art works because those works close our life.

If you would know about Andy Warhol more you can buy the book "The Philosophy of Andy Warhol." The book talked about his love and sex of view.
