Thirty years after his death, Andy Warhol (1928-1987) remains one of the most influential figures in contemporary art and culture. Warhol’s life and work continue to inspire creative thinkers worldwide thanks to his enduring imagery, his artfully cultivated celebrity, and the ongoing research of dedicated scholars. The extensive Andy Warhol Foundation launch available on Artstor provides a thorough presentation of the prolific artist’s works in one place for the first time through more than 35,000* images including paintings, drawings, sculptures, prints, and photography spanning four decades.
