Andy Warhol, biography and main works: The Pop Revolution and the Birth of The Factory

In 1960, Warhol began incorporating advertisements and comic strips into his works.

Continuing with the theme of advertisements and comic strips, his paintings during the early 1960s were primarily based on illustrated images from print media and graphic design.

Andy Warhol had a lifelong fascination with Hollywood, demonstrated by his series of iconic celebrity images such as Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor.

Wanting to continue his exploration of different media, Warhol began experimenting with films in 1963.

He created approximately 600 films between 1963 and 1976, ranging from a few minutes to 24 hours in length.

Warhol also published artist books since the 1950s, but his first mass-produced book, the Andy Warhol's Index , was published in 1967.

In September 1960, after moving into a house at 1342 Lexington Avenue, on Manhattan's Upper East Side, he began his most productive period. Not having enough studio space in his previous apartment where he lived with his mother, he now had plenty of room to work.

In late 1961, he began creating Campbell's soup cans . The series employed many different techniques, but most were created by projecting source images onto the canvas, tracing them with a pencil, and applying paint. In this way, Warhol removed most of the manually made marks.

In 1962, he began exploring silkscreen printing. This stencil process involved transferring an image onto a porous screen and applying paint with a rubber squeegee. This marked another means of painting while removing traces of his hand, as was done to create the Campbell's soup can images, and it also allowed him to repeat the motif multiple times within the same image, producing a serial image suggestive of mass production.

In 1964, Warhol moved to 231 East 47 ^th Street, naming it "The Factory". Having achieved moderate success as an artist by then, he was able to employ several assistants to help him execute his projects. This marked a turning point in his career. Now, with the help of his assistants, he could more decisively remove his hand from the canvas and create repetitive, mass-produced images that would appear devoid of meaning and beg the question: What makes art, art? This was an idea first introduced by Marcel Duchamp, whom Warhol greatly admired.

He also developed a project called The Exploding Plastic Inevitable (EPI), a multimedia production that combined the rock band The Velvet Underground with film, light, and dance projections, culminating in a sensory experience of Performance Art.

Warhol also founded Interview Magazine with his friend Gerard Malanga.
