Six years later, his father would buy a house at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/FodwkDCe6mUYDiuW7\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e3252 Dawson Street\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom an early age, Warhol showed an interest in art, supported by his mother, Julia, who was also an artist. His relationship with his mother was extremely close; she moved to New York to live with him and remained by his side until her death in 1972. His Catholic faith had a significant impact on his life and work, regularly attending mass and helping in homeless shelters, although he rarely displayed it publicly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndy was one of the main exponents of the movement called \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-art\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePop Art\u003c\/a\u003e, influenced by \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dadaism\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDadaism\u003c\/a\u003e and the work of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/duchamp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMarcel Duchamp\u003c\/a\u003e, who questioned the nature of art. This movement was characterized by using images from popular culture and mass media. Warhol deeply influenced other contemporary artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, who adopted his approach to popular culture and his distinctive style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis artist's \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/silkscreen\" target=\"_blank\"\u003escreen printing\u003c\/a\u003e technique, which allowed for mass reproduction of images, was revolutionary and reflected his fascination with serial production and commercialization. His work \"\u003ca href=\"\/products\/tomato-soup-andy-warhol\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCampbell's Tomato Soup Can\u003c\/a\u003e\" is emblematic of this technique and Pop Art in general. In addition to Basquiat and Haring, his influence extended to other artists and movements, such as neo-pop and 80s art, while also leaving his mark on experimental film and music, collaborating with bands like \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Velvet_Underground\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThe Velvet Underground\u003c\/a\u003e, revealing the breadth of his cultural impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis prominent American, a son of Pennsylvania, in turn, influenced a wide variety of artists and movements. His work paved the way for \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/conceptual-art\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eConceptual Art\u003c\/a\u003e, which values ideas over aesthetic forms, impacting artists like Carl Andre, known for his \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/minimalism\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eminimalist\u003c\/a\u003e sculptures. The legacy of pop art continued with artists like \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/banksy-art\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBanksy\u003c\/a\u003e and many more, who continue to surprise us day by day.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"marilyn-andy-warhol","title":"Shot Sage Blue Marilyn by Andy Warhol","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe work “Shot \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Salvia_azurea\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSage Blue\u003c\/a\u003e Marilyn” by Andy Warhol, created in 1964, is an emblematic \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/silkscreen\" target=\"_blank\"\u003escreenprint\u003c\/a\u003e distinguished by its bold chromatic combination and the technical refinement characteristic of the artist’s production during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarhol employed the technique of screen printing to reproduce the image of Marilyn Monroe, a process he perfected in the early 1960s and which would become one of the defining hallmarks of his oeuvre. The portrait is dominated by a sage-blue tone that imparts a serene yet sophisticated atmosphere, set in striking contrast to the graphic intensity of the face. The English term “Shot” functions here as a wordplay, meaning both “gunshot” and “photographic shot.” On the one hand, it refers to the photographic origin of the image; on the other, it alludes to an incident that occurred in the artist’s studio, known as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/TQ47NbPrRPd5GauaA\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThe Silver Factory\u003c\/a\u003e, where in 1964 the artist Dorothy Podber fired a gun at several of these screenprints.
