Andy Warhol: The prince of Pop Art

Bridget Kendall explores pop artist Andy Warhol with the gallery director Eric Shiner, art historian Professor Jean Wainwright and Andy Warhol鈥檚 nephew, the artist James Warhola.

"In the future everybody will be world-famous for fifteen minutes鈥 is probably the best known quote attributed to Andy Warhol. Warhol was an American artist who became a superstar in the visual art movement known as Pop Art. He crossed the boundaries between art and celebrity becoming famous for what we now call branding, but the private Warhol was a deeply religious man and to his close relatives was known simply as 鈥楿ncle Andy鈥. In a world where some of what he predicted has come true, we look back at the life and work of this iconic figure.

With Bridget Kendall to explore Andy Warhol are Eric Shiner the former Director of the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh USA and New York Director of London鈥檚 White Cube, Professor Jean Wainwright the British art historian and curator and a leading expert on Warhol and Andy Warhol鈥檚 nephew, the artist and illustrator James Warhola.
