Andy Warhol was born Andrew Warhola on August 6, 1928, in a two-room apartment at 73 Orr Street in a working-class neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

“Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.”

Warhol died in Manhattan at 6:32 a.m. on February 22, 1987, at age 58. According to news reports, he had been making a good recovery from gallbladder surgery at New York Hospital before dying in his sleep from a sudden post-operative irregular heartbeat.

He had many muses, partners, and subjects over the years. But in the 60's, Andy Warhol fell in love with Edie Sedgwick– a partnership and friendship that dominated pop culture and continues to be remembered even now, despite how brief it was. They grew close and fell out of love with rapacity.
