“Is disease something we’re born with and prone to, or the result of a life lived in a place that can make anyone sick?”

A creek in my hometown—Trafford, Pennsylvania—used to run orange with sulfur and mine drainage, and the air near the creek smelled like rotten eggs, some days more than others. The fish that came from the creek were catfish, deformed, pox-ridden, with huge, panicked eyes. My friends and I would find them washed up dead. We’d poke them with sticks until they’d spurt.

Controversial and enigmatic, Andy Warhol was one of the most important artists of the 20th century. Arguably, there is no other artist who so embraced and reflected the zeitgeist of the modern era. Beginning his career as a commercial artist, Warhol instinctively and consciously blurred the lines between art and commerce as well as good taste and bad.
Transfiguring product logos and celebrity images into works that both commented on the banality of consumer culture and celebrated its uniquely American qualities, Andy Warhol, with his famous, screen-printed soup cans and garish movie star portraits, redefined fine art for a generation. Through his Factory studio, he even changed the artist's role in creation, employing assistants to manufacture his works on a virtual assembly line.
