Introduction to an Artist: **“In the future, everyone will be world-famous for fifteen minutes” [1], these are just a few of Andy Warhol’s explicit words that guided a generation into the future of Pop Culture. Warhol’s legacy and expertise in graphic design led him on a route to success including several awards and recognitions for his passion and artistry. His social appeals to society and current America allowed others to experience the mastery of his work, which resulted in the acknowledgment the world provided him.("Andy Warhol")

Debut ** ** of Andy Warhol: ** On July 9, 1962, Andy made his first appearance as a pop artist, and attended an art exhibition at the Ferus Gallery. The Ferus Gallery was solely dedicated to fine artists, and the exhibit marked the origin of pop art in the Los Angeles area. Irving Blum, a co-producer of the Ferus Gallery, eagerly presented Andy with an opportunity to present a painting in his gallery, and with much confidence, he accepted this chance to jump-start a definite career as a designer. Various pieces of Warhol were displayed, and pricing for his collection was set at around one thousand dollars. Pricing that extreme was impressive at the time because Blum’s monthly salary was less than half his purchase. Henry T. Hopkins reviewed Warhol’s creations, and their simplicity transcended him to his childhood memories. In response to his sights, Hopkins announced, “To those of us who grew up during the cream-colored thirties with “Big-Little Books,” “Comic Books,” and a “Johnson and Smith Catalogue” as constant companions … this show has peculiar significance.” [2] (Hopkins [144-150])

Andy Warhol produced an exhibit of several graphic works and paintings of his own, and peculiarly named the project //Raid the Icebox with Andy Warhol.// The showcase was selected by the Vaults of the Museum of Art in Rhode island, and was assisted by Stephen E. Ostrow in 1969. The collections that made up this project consisted mainly of shoes, which Warhol seemed to have desired. Warhol first got his start drawing shoes for //Glamour Magazin////e// in 1949, and from that point he was designing sculptures of shoes for several other exhibits. Susan Stewart, an American poet and critic, acclaimed, “ The collection offers example rather than sample…In the collection, time is not something to be restored to an origin; rather, all time is made simultaneous …within the collection’s world.” [3] The exhibits success was partially due to the unexpected and unknown creations that were going into the project. Suspense built because Warhol himself gave no true explanations of his work. [4] (Stewart [92-95])

Monochrome painting, the use of metallic panels in a painting, provided the 1960’s public with a new view for the possibilities of art. Andy Warhol combined dull surfaces with aluminum, silver, and gold tone paint to create a spectacular effect that produced an array of his most credible works including //Elvis Presley// (1963). Paintings such as //Mustard Race Riot// and //Blue Electric Chair// display the essence of Warhol’s use of monochrome on a much larger scale than others would attempt. Taking risks in his career brought plenty of attention to his new styles and perspective of present day life. [5] (Warhol [1-14])
