Known for his boundary-breaking art and coining the term "fifteen minutes of fame", Warhol is one of the most famous artists to ever live. Warhol led the visual art movement of "pop art" acting not only as an artist, but also a director and producer. A jack of all trades, his famous art utilized a variety of mediums including photography, painting, sculpture, silkscreening, and film. He was enthralled with celebrity culture and advertising, a large theme throughout his works.

Judith Gould, the director of Eliot House, which is Britain's leading diagnostic center for autism and Asperger's syndrome, has implied that the repetitious nature of Warhol's work actually denotes a symptom of autism.
