Andy Warhol profoundly inspired the world through his extraordinary artistic vision and innovation, as well as astute insights that have resonated far beyond his time. His immortal quote "The idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting" accompanies this candid shot from a strip of photobooth portraits taken in 1963. Warhol (1923 – 1987) founded the Pop Art movement and innovated silkscreening, a technique which transferred a large photograph to a mechanically inked canvas, creating mass-produced images. He was best known for his multiple images of Campbell’s soup cans, Coke bottles and celebrities. Warhol was also a film maker, music producer, commercial illustrator, author and magazine publisher, and one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
