Andy

Andy Warhol (/ˈwɔrhɒl/;[1] August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987) was an American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became a renowned and sometimes controversial artist. The Andy Warhol Museum in his native city, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, holds an extensive permanent collection of art and archives. It is the largest museum in the United States dedicated to a single artist.
Warhol's art used many types of media, including hand drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, silk screening, sculpture, film, and music. He was also a pioneer in computer-generated art using Amiga computers that were introduced in 1984, two years before his death. He founded Interview Magazine and was the author of numerous books, including The Philosophy of Andy Warhol andPopism: The Warhol Sixties. He managed and produced the Velvet Underground, a rock band which had a strong influence on the evolution of punk rock music. He is also notable as a gay man who lived openly as such before the gay liberation movement. His studio, The Factory, was a famous gathering place that brought together distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights,Bohemian street people, Hollywood celebrities, and wealthy patrons.
Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions, books, and feature and documentary films. He coined the widely used expression "15 minutes of fame". Many of his creations are very collectible and highly valuable. The highest price ever paid for a Warhol painting is US$105 million for a 1963 canvas titled "Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster)".[2] A 2009 article in The Economistdescribed Warhol as the "bellwether of the art market".[3] Warhol's works include some of the most expensive paintings ever sold.

TAŞKIŞLA- Bir Bina Hikayesi...

Üniversite sınavına 1986 yılında girdim. Bizim zamanımızda sınav iki aşamalı olurdu. İlk sınava oturduğumuz ilde, ikinciye ise seçtiğimiz bir büyük şehirde girerdik. Ayrıca sınava girmeden evvel de tercihlerimizi yapardık. Artık şansımıza... Ben de İstanbul'u seçmiştim ve gireceğim yer ise Taşkışla  olarak belirlendi. Sınavdan bir gün evvel Taşkışla'ya gelip gireceğim dersliği buldum ve adeta binadan büyülendim. Ertesi gün sınavdan çıktığımda aileme ilk söylediğim söz "ben herhalde burayı kazanacağım" oldu... (Çok da iddialıymışım) Yaklaşık bir ay sonra sonuçlar açıklandı ve ben İTÜ Mimarlık Fakültesi'ne girdim. Hayallerim gerçek olmuştu artık benim yuvam TAŞKIŞLA idi...  Dört senemi burada geçirdim. Yetmedi bir de üzerine üç sene master yaptım. İlk sene İstanbul'un kabusluğu beni biraz zorlasa da okula olan sevgim galip geldi... Bu seneler sırasında (itiraf ediyorum) pek çok kez derse girmeyip avluda oturmayı ve bina ile hoşbeş etmeyi tercih ettim. Kı...

A  Dutch  painter whose work—notable for its rough beauty, emotional honesty, and bold color—had a far-reaching influence on  20th-century art . After years of painful anxiety and frequent bouts of mental illness, [1] [2]  he died aged 37 from a gunshot wound, generally accepted to be self-inflicted (although no gun was ever found). [3] [note 2] He began to draw as a child, and he continued to draw throughout the years that led up to his decision to become an artist. He did not begin painting until his late twenties, completing many of his best-known works during the last two years of his life. In just over a decade, he produced more than 2,100 artworks, consisting of  860 oil paintings  and more than  1,300 watercolors, drawings, sketches, and prints . His work inc...
