Andy Warhol was an American visual artist, film director and producer. A leading figure in the pop art movement, Warhol is considered one of the most important American artists of the second half of the 20th century. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, including painting, silkscreening, photography, film, and sculpture. Some of his best-known works include the silkscreen paintings Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) and Marilyn Diptych (1962), the experimental films Empire (1964) and Chelsea Girls (1966), and the multimedia events known as the Exploding Plastic Inevitable (1966–67).

Bonus!  Winner will also receive a collectable Andy Warhol Bust, Dollar Sign Edition (one of only 200 ever created!)  Celebrating one of the most important artists of the modern era, Kidrobot and The Andy Warhol Foundation have teamed up again for a new, limited-edition addition to the Kidrobot x Andy Warhol Collection. Kidrobot brings to life the limited-edition Andy Warhol 12-inch Bust Vinyl Art Sculpture – Dollar Sign Edition. The inspiration for the design of this vinyl designer art toy comes from Andy Warhol’s early 1980s dollar sign print series.
