Andy Warhol, a pioneering figure in the art world, had his first solo shows of paintings in the early 1950s. In the 1960s, he shifted his focus to screen printing, a technique that became synonymous with his name. Warhol returned to painting in the 1970s and 1980s, creating notable works such as the ‘Oxidation Paintings’ series. His influence on the art market was cemented when his painting, Shot Sage Blue Marilyn, sold for an astounding US$195 million at Christie’s New York in 2022, making it the most expensive 20th-century work of art to sell at auction. Andy Warhol paintings continue to captivate collectors and audiences worldwide.
