Andy Warhol’s 92nd Birthday

Andy Warhol (born Andrew Warhola) was born August 6, 1928, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Rusyn (Ukrainian) immigrants from Mikova (northeastern Slovakia).

Warhol was sick throughout most of his childhood and as a result, spent much of his time alone in his bed. He later credited much of his personality and skills to this time in his life, which he spent drawing and collecting pictures of movie stars.

After graduating from the Carnegie Institute of Technology with a degree in graphic design, Warhol moved to New York City, where he worked as a magazine illustrator. Throughout the 1950s, he also designed album covers and began experimenting with silk screening and other printmaking processes. Read More
