Description

Celebrated during his lifetime for both his personality and his paintings, Andy Warhol (1928–1987) is the most famous and influential of the Pop artists, who developed the notion of 15 minutes of fame and the idea that an artist can be as illustrious as the work they create. This graphic novel biography offers insight into the turning point in Warhol's career and the creation of the mural Thirteen Most Wanted Men for the 1964 World's Fair, when Warhol clashed with urban planner Robert Moses, architect Philip Johnson, and Governor Nelson Rockefeller. In Becoming Andy Warhol , New York Times bestselling author Nick Bertozzi and artist Pierce Hargan show the moment when, through sheer force of personality and burgeoning talent, Warhol challenged the creative establishment and emerged to become one of the most significant artists of the 20th century.
