I just recently did a follow-up report on my visit to the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Warhol is a Pittsburgh native and innovator of pop- art. He is known for his wild portraits of the stars that he so eagerly associated himself with. Warhol was hungry for fame and money. He wanted only to surround himself with people who had had their "15 minutes of fame", a phrase that he had coined. There is much stipulation of whether or not Warhol was a sell-out for concerning his art with advertisement. While this is a legitimate concern, I disagree. His advertisements paved way for the marketing world. In fact, Campbell's still uses the label that he designed. I also disagree because of the type of person that Warhol was. He was obsessed with money, so buy selling his art to companies for advertisement, he was being true to himself.
