From the 32 canvas Campbell's Soup Cans to the Marilyn Diptych, Andy Warhol's silk-screen prints are the epitome of Pop Art: witty, gimmicky and unafraid of repetition. Obsessed with consumerism and the cult of celebrity, Warhol (1928-1987) exalted the 'surface of things' - and yet he was a man of deep complexity. In 'Andy', Typex captures the remarkable life of the king of Pop Art, from his working-class upbringing in Pittsburgh to the dizzying heights of his celebrity. Spanning a period that began with the 'talkies' and ended with the advent of house music, it is also a memorable portrait of 20th-century pop culture and the stars who defined it.
