Andy Warhol was a leader in the pop art movement. According to good old Wikipedia the highest price ever paid a painting was $100 Million. Warhol started painting subjects that were normal every day things like Campbell Soup cans and Coke bottles. Later as his popularity grew so did his paintings. Instead of ordinary objects he depicted famous personalities like Marilyn Monroe. He was extremely and ambitious said that "Making money is art, and working is art and good business is the best art." I like his art even though he was flamboyant and a bit crazy.
