Explore Warhol's fascination with Hollywood, fame, and stardom, which began with Warhol's visits to the cinema with his brothers in gritty, industrial 1930s Pittsburgh. As a child, Warhol also sent away for fan photos and devoured movie magazines, surrounding himself with celebrity images. This practice continued into adulthood, and he eventually accumulated a profusion of photographs, movie posters, and other memorabilia.
Examine the concept of celebrity through hundreds of these archival items and gain new perspective on global celebrity culture.
