Andy Warhol

A leading art figure in the art movement ‘pop art’ His forced the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. He’s work crossed across main different medias such as hand drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, silk screening, sculpture, film, and music.

Time capsules

As part of Warhol’s life work he created time capsules, collecting about 4000 audio tapes, over half a million objects, film, sculpture, painting, video art and graphic art, as well as clothing and wigs. Showing work from his public and private life. These capsules span almost 30 years, staring in the early 1960’s till his death in 1987.

I really like how Warhol created these time capsules, I think they give a great incite in to his life, it also makes you think about the thing you do and the significant of objects and items in our day to day lives. I think collecting items over my summer really gave me an incite into Warhol’s colleting over the 30 years. 

A lot of his work is about how things are placed and about putting the important things on the top, what would look exciting. The picture bellow looks intresting because of the amount of things that are there, also the extrem detail on all of things he has collects. The fact the the objects are all kinds of things i think also makes it look intreging and fasinating to look at.   

Warhol's time capsuls are unlike a lot of his other work, all though the time capsuls are still about life style and fame, its not like his other Pop art work. Warhol's other work used a lot of bright colours and a very strong bold pieces looking at celebries and the whole idea of fame.
