| Andy Warhol: Mediums and Works |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A main concern that Warhol along with other artists at the time was with the medium, it needed a change. The work of art as an object, image, material, packaging, composition, and other details played into their production of these works. Individuality was a main concern for Warhol, as he tried to vary his techniques from other artists at the time. He took pictures of Marilyn and other figures of mass culture directly from photographs, changed them in some technical way, and mass-produced them for the general public.

| of these items at such high rates gave Warhol a new outlook on art. He could now produce art in the same manner as these commercial items were being produced, in mass quantity's and rather cheaply. This new way of making art became successful because he had many paths that he could choose along the way. Warhol found that it was in the skill of finding the right photograph to silkscreen and the best colors, that it is art and there is skill involved (Pioch). Although he exerted a tremendous amount of energy in his work, in the beginning, it was seen as parodies on society rather than that kind of art that was cherished. Yet, his collectors whom did buy his work thought there would be an endless supply because of the manners he took to produce them in the beginning and technology embraced his methods (Schwartzman, 59). |

| Warhol did not let his popularity as an artist make him unattainable to the general population who held art in a high place. By using printmaking, it allowed a very large audience to obtain this kind of imagery, not only the elite. Prints sold for five dollars a piece or even came free in many circumstances. In 1967, a set of his Marilyn's cost about fifty dollars, now a good complete set would sell for $250,000 (Pacheco, 52). Warhol's prints are going nowhere but up in price and in popularity since his death, but that was not his first intention in producing these works. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Up until his death, Andy worked with other mediums than silk-screening. He continued to paint and take photographs, which were still an important aspect of his career, although sometimes under represented. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
