"Everything is more or less artificial. I don't know where the artificial stops and the real starts."
The "Pope of Pop", Andy Warhol is one of the essential figures of contemporary art. His work consists of popular subjects drawn from mass culture and then made iconic status by the artist. The mechanical, voluntary aspect of his creation breaks down artistic and social conventions. It is expressed through repetition or repetitive production methods such as screen printing or stamping, transgressing the unique status of the work and the creative power of the artist. The commercial dimension is firmly acknowledged by the artist, who called his studio "The Factory". It is with constant irony that he casts this theme into the abyss, a critique of consumerism and the construction of a world based on an erroneous value system, such as appearance, of which the celebrity stars are false heroes.
