Arts Hub US — It’s been twenty years since Andy Warhol died on February 22, 1987, but his legacy lives on. Highly accomplished in many fields, Warhol served as a modern version of the classic Renaissance man, making a name for himself first as a graphic designer, then an artist, filmmaker, music producer, publisher, and writer.
