“Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, ‘So what.’ That’s one of my favorite things to say, ‘So what.’”
Andy Warhol (1928 – 1987)
A Pittsburg native, born to parents who had immigrated from what is now Slovakia, Warhol was the dominant figure in the Pop Art movement of the sixties through the eighties. Trained at the Carnegie Institute in commercial art, he brought a finely honed artistic sense and keen observational skills to advertising art, underappreciated in post-war America. In the early sixties, Warhol began to exhibit art based on iconic American images such as Campbell Soup cans and Coke bottles, as well as celebrity images of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and others. As his own fame grew he used it as a comment on the society around him, it was he who coined the phrase “fifteen minutes of fame.” In 1968 he was shot by a disgruntled member of the Factory, his New York studio and hang-out, which added to the serious health problems he had suffered since boyhood, but survived another twenty years branching out into films and music, most famously managing and producing The Velvet Underground. Warhol’s diptych “Silver Car Crash” sold at a 2013 Sotheby’s auction for $105 million, a record for his work.

Excellent quote think I found myself doing that a time or making myself miserable on things I had no control over! 🙂 Dave
