How to Invest in Andy Warhol Original Art
That same year, Warhol also created his famous Campbell’s Soup Cans, a collection of 32 screens featuring different types of soup. By repeating the patterns, Warhol made fun of capitalism and the mass production of consumer goods, a theme he’d carry throughout his career.
His very own visual diary
In 1964, Andy Warhol opened his studio called “The Factory” which became a cultural hub and hangout for artists, writers, musicians, and pop stars. It also served as a performance venue for The Velvet Underground. It was a focal point of the art scene and helped Andy Warhol become a star. The Factory is also where Andy Warhol started to experiment with other art forms, such as photography and film.
Warhol’s polaroid series depicts the world as he saw it. He took over 100,000 photographs of everything with his beloved SX70 Polaroid camera, from portraits of New York high society to anonymous nudes, actors like Jack Nicholson, and even toys like the Cabbage Patch dolls. These impromptu images served as Andy Warhol’s visual diary and offered a glimpse into the artist’s mind. They’re a bit like the early days of Instagram before being overrun by influencers and brands.
