Andy Warhol were still alive in 2011, tomorrow would be his 83rd birthday. Although he had been gone for over 25 years now, it seems his influential pop sensibility only grows more relevant as the years go on. Warhol made his name and destiny with bright block prints which is depicting famous images, such as Marilyn Monroe, bottles of Coca-Cola, and tins of soup. However, he later turned his back on Pop Art and began to explore abstraction. There are calls for Warhol’s reputation to be reappraised, as the picture shows he was not limited just to Pop Art. People consider that he was a “delicate” influence on Hirst and other contemporary artists. Before his death in 1987, Warhol collaborated with a new wave of abstract artists, who encouraged him to keep painting.

Damien Hirst, who was one of his art descendants, will present a show named “Eggs, 1982” in Britain for the first time this autumn, as a star exhibit of The Indiscipline of Painting. A new show opening at Tate St Ives in October that also includes work by Gerhard Richter, Bernard Frize and Bridget Riley is in fact the silkscreen print by the Pop artist Andy Warhol, and is causing a stir among fans of his work.
