"The Age of Warhol"

"The actual art that Warhol produced—the paintings, silk-screens and films—cannot explain the obsessive attention. Warhol was an important Pop Artist who made edgy films and, in his silk-screens, found a fresh way to describe the shifting face of celebrity culture. But his images rarely possessed the visual power found in the work of the great artists of the century, such as Picasso, Matisse, or Mondrian."

Upon the twentieth anniversary of the artist's death, Mark Stevens in New York takes a look at Andy Warhol's most enduring work.
