Celebrated during his lifetime as much for his personality as for his paintings; Andy Warhol (1928ndash;87) is the most famous and influential of the Pop artists; who developed the notion of 15 minutes of fame; and the idea that an artist could be as illustrious as the work he creates. This graphic novel biography offers insight into the turning point of Warholrsquo;s career and the creation of the Thirteen Most Wanted Men mural for the 1964 Worldrsquo;s Fair; when Warhol clashed with urban planner Robert Moses; architect Philip Johnson; and Governor Nelson Rockefeller. In Becoming Andy Warhol; New York Times bestselling writer Nick Bertozzi and artist Pierce Hargan showcase the moment when; by stubborn force of personality and sheer burgeoning talent; Warhol went up against the creative establishment and emerged to become one of the most significant artists of the 20th century.
