Andy Warhol

 Andy Warhol, who was born and reared in Pittsburgh, first focused on becoming a successful commercial illustrator.

He gained notoriety as a significant and contentious artist in the late 1950s after putting on exhibitions of his work in a number of galleries.

Distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights, Bohemian street people, Hollywood superstars, and affluent clientele would congregate in his New York workshop, The Factory.

He marketed a group of individuals referred to as Warhol superstars, and is renowned for having influenced the popular phrase "15 minutes of fame".

He started Interview and oversaw and produced the Velvet Underground, an experimental rock group, in the late 1960s. Not only that, but he wrote a number of books, such as Popism: The Warhol Sixties and The Philosophy of Andy Warhol.

Before the gay liberation movement, he was an openly gay man.
