*1928-1987 Andy Warhol Europe Andy Warhol (* 6 August 1928 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; † 22 February 1987 in Manhattan, New York City; real name Andrew Warhola) was an American artist, filmmaker and publisher. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, including painting, silkscreening, photography, film, and sculpture. Some of his best known works include the silkscreen paintings Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) and Marilyn Diptych (1962), the experimental films Empire (1964) and Chelsea Girls (1966), and the multimedia events known as the Exploding Plastic Inevitable (1966–1967). Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Warhol initially pursued a successful career as a commercial illustrator. After exhibiting his work in several galleries in the late 1950s, he began to receive recognition as an influential and controversial artist. His New York studio, The Factory, became a well-known gathering place that brought together distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights, Bohemian street people, Hollywood celebrities, and wealthy patrons. He promoted a collection of personalities known as Warhol superstars, and is credited with inspiring the widely used expression "15 minutes of fame". In the late 1960s he managed and produced the experimental rock band The Velvet Underground and founded Interview magazine. He authored numerous books, including The Philosophy of Andy Warhol and Popism: The Warhol Sixties. He lived openly as a gay man before the gay liberation movement. The US-American painter was one of the founders and perfectors of Pop Art. In it, he propagated the "American way of life". A characteristic of his work was the serial production of his artworks in the so-called "Factory", which was run by friends and co-workers. Andy Warhol produced silkscreens of mass idols from music, film or politics such as Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, John F. Kennedy or Mao Zedong. Screen prints of everyday objects such as soup cans, Coke bottles or bank notes confronted the viewer with familiar objects in an artificial, pop world. Warhol's model was the Dadaist demand for the abolition of the separation between art and life. These works made him one of the most famous artists of his time from the 1970s onwards... There is disagreement about his exact date and place of birth. Andy Warhol's father, who worked in coal mining, is said to have died as early as 1942. The son grew up with his mother Julia Warhola. The young Warhol was interested in pictures from an early age. He initially trained as a window dresser. From 1945 to 1949 he studied at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh. After he finished his studies, he did advertising for a shoe manufacturer in New York. He also worked as a commercial artist and illustrator for various magazines, such as "Vogue" and "Harper's Bazaar". During this time he changed his original name to Andy Warhol. In 1952, a solo exhibition of his work was held for the first time at the Hugo Gallery in New York. During this and the following period he designed stage sets. Andy Warhol had his hair dyed bright, which became his personal trademark. In 1956, his exhibited advertising drawings for shoes won the "Thirty Fifth Annual Art Director's Club Award". In 1957 he was honoured with an award for a shop window design. Two years later he exhibited his work for the first time at the Bodley Gallery. From 1961 - at the same time as Roy Lichtenstein - Warhol began to depict everyday things and mass products, such as Coca-Cola bottles, in comic style. At first he drew his works by hand. From 1962 onwards, he used the screen-printing process as a means of reproduction. He also produced reproductions of photographs, which he supplemented with bright colours. He caused a sensation among experts and outside with his depictions of mass-produced everyday products. Warhol thus advanced to become an "anti-artist". In 1962, he took part in the "New Realists" exhibition at the Janis Gallery. Warhol had long since become one of the leading avant-garde artists who represented and realised Pop Art. His portrait paintings with prominent personalities from music, politics or film became famous. He produced works of Jacqueline Kennedy or Elizabeth Taylor, based on photographs. Warhol's oil painting entitled "Campbell Soup Can with Detached Label" achieved a price of 60,000 US dollars at an auction at the time. In 1963, he founded the "Factory" in New York, a unique community of working and living space for artists and intellectuals. From this point on, Andy Warhol stopped painting himself. The production of the silkscreen paintings was taken over by friends as well as co-workers. Not only industrially produced consumer goods, such as detergent packs or tins, were depicted, but also entire series of disasters and catastrophes. As early as 1962, the first picture was created as a reproduction of newspaper cuttings about plane crashes and car accidents. With the help of the serigraphy technique, Warhol was able to reconstruct the poor quality of the newspaper illustration for his own works in order to give the whole work the necessary authenticity. Thus, a small newspaper article about a plane crash was enlarged to a height of two and a half metres. In this way, Warhol not only documented the plane crash, but also the human suffering through the sharpness of detail. In his works, Andy Warhol represented a provocative concept of art that revolved centrally around the fact that the artist must remain behind the mass production process as a synonym for de-individualisation. This conception of art was in clear contrast to all previous concepts of art, in which the artist was always a part. Warhol was also at home in the film medium. However, he mainly did not make commercial films, but undergrounds. Like his paintings, his films also depicted processes in everyday life, such as kissing or cutting hair. He developed his films into curiously grotesque works in which, for example, a man was filmed sleeping for over six hours. But Andy Warhol also devoted himself to commercial film. His work "Chelsea Girls", completed in 1966, was well received and successful in the cinemas. In the same year, 1966, Warhol founded the rock group "Velvet Underground", which was a visible sign of his demanded connection between art and life, because especially in the pop and rock genres, the connection between creativity on the one hand and mass production and mass success in sales on the other hand is also evident. The versatile artist produced multimedia shows in his "Factory" and was considered a pioneer in both conceptual and technical realisation. Andy Warhol was also active as a theatre and book author with his play "Pork" (1971) and his novel "a" (1972). But not with equal success: the play was not well received and his book title only moderately. In contrast, he had bestseller success with his book of photographs "America", published in 1986. In the 1980s, Warhol worked with artist friends such as Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Francesco Clemente. During this phase, he created several joint paintings; each artist worked in his own technique and combined it on one canvas. His painting and graphic works include "One Hundred Campbell's Soup Cans", "Daily News", "Plane Crash", "Pepsi Cola", "Marilyn Monroe" (1962), "5 Death 11 Times in Orange", "Green Disaster" (1963), "Thirteen Most Wanted Men", "Elvis Presley" (1964), "Jackie Kennedy" (1965), "Electric Chair" (1966), "Mao Tse Tung" (1972), "Fourteen Little Electric Chairs" (1980), "Rifle" (1981), "Oxidation" (1982) and "Self Portrait" (1986). Andy Warhol died on 22 February 1987 as a result of gall bladder surgery in a New York clinic.

*1901-1966 Alberto Giacometti Europe Alberto Giacometti (* 10 October 1901 in Borgonovo, municipality of Stampa; † 11 January 1966 in Chur) was a Swiss modernist sculptor, painter and graphic artist who lived and worked mainly in Paris from 1922. Giacometti was one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century. His work was particularly influenced by artistic styles such as Cubism and Surrealism. Philosophical questions about the human condition as well as existential and phenomenological debates played a significant role in his work. Around 1935 gave up on his Surrealist influences in order to pursue a more in-depth analysis of figurative compositions. Giacometti wrote texts for magazines and exhibition catalogues and recorded his thoughts and memories in notebooks and diaries. His critical nature led to self-doubt about his own work and his self-perceived inability to live up to his own artistic vision. His insecurities nevertheless remained a powerful motivating artistic force throughout his life. Between 1938 and 1944, Giacometti's sculptures had a maximum height of seven centimetres. Their small size reflected the actual distance between the artist's position and his model. In this context, he self-critically stated: "But wanting to create from memory what I had seen, to my terror the sculptures became smaller and smaller." After the Second World War, Giacometti created his most famous sculptures: his extremely tall and slender figures. These sculptures were the subject to his individual visual experience - between an imaginary yet real, a tangible yet inaccessible space. In Giacometti's oeuvre, his painting constitutes only a small part. After 1957, however, his figurative paintings were just as present as his sculptures. His almost monochrome paintings of his late work do not refer to other artistic styles of modernism. From 1966 to 1993, Annette Giacometti devoted her entire life to defending her husband's oeuvre without talking about it to the media. Annette Arm (1923-1993) met Giacometti in Geneva in 1943 and became his wife in 1949. From 1946, when they settled in Paris (they moved to Rue Hippolyte-Maindron in 1947) until the end, Annette was one of Alberto's favourite models. The sheer number of sculptures, paintings and drawings - whether portraits, nudes or studies - can only be compared with those that Alberto made of his brother Diego.

*1452-1519 Leonardo da Vinci Europe Leonardo da Vinci (* 15 April 1452 in Anchiano (?) near Vinci; † 2 May 1519 at Clos Lucé Castle, Amboise; actually Lionardo di ser Piero da Vinci [son of (Mes)ser Piero from Vinci]) was an Italian painter, sculptor, architect, anatomist, mechanic, engineer and natural philosopher. He is considered one of the most famous polymaths of all time. While his fame initially rested on his achievements as a painter, he also became known for his notebooks, in which he made drawings and notes on a variety of subjects, including anatomy, astronomy, botany, cartography, painting, and paleontology. Leonardo's genius epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal, and his complete works compose a contribution to later generations of artists surpassed only by that of his younger contemporary and co-founder of the High Renaissance, Michelangelo. Born out of wedlock to a successful notary and a lower-class woman in, or near, Vinci, he was educated in Florence by the renowned Italian painter and sculptor Andrea del Verrocchio. He began his career in the city, but then spent much time in the service of Ludovico Sforza in Milan. Later, he worked in Florence and Milan again, as well as briefly in Rome, attracting a large following of imitators and students. Upon the invitation of Francis I, he spent his last three years in France, where he died in 1519. Since his death, there has not been a time where his achievements, diverse interests, personal life, and empirical thinking have failed to incite interest and admiration, making him a frequent namesake and subject in culture. Leonardo is among the greatest painters in the history of art. Despite many lost works and less than 25 attributed major works—including numerous unfinished works—he created some of the most influential paintings in Western art. His magnum opus, the Mona Lisa, is his most famous work and is often considered the most famous painting in the world. The Last Supper is the most reproduced religious painting of all time and his Vitruvian Man drawing is also regarded as a cultural icon. In 2017, Salvator Mundi, attributed in whole or part to Leonardo, was sold at auction for US$ 450.3 million, setting a new record for the most expensive painting ever sold at public auction. Revered for his technological ingenuity, he conceptualized flying machines, a type of armored fighting vehicle, concentrated solar power, an calculating machine, and the double hull. Relatively few of his designs were constructed or even feasible during his lifetime, as modern scientific approaches to metallurgy and engineering were in their infancy during the Renaissance. Some of his smaller inventions, however, entered the world of manufacturing unheralded, such as an automated bobbin winder and a machine for testing the tensile strength of wire. He is also sometimes credited with the inventions of the parachute, helicopter, and tank. He made substantial discoveries in anatomy, civil engineering, geology, optics, tribology, and hydrodynamics, but he did not publish his findings and they had little to no direct influence on subsequent science.

*1881-1955 Fernand Léger Europe Fernand Léger (* 4 February 1881 in Argentan in Normandy; † 17 August 1955 in Gif-sur-Yvette near Paris) was a French painter, sculptor, graphic artist, ceramicist and film director. His early work is classified as Cubism. In his works after the Second World War, his painterly style changed. From the 1920s onwards, he increasingly integrated figurative elements into his paintings. Léger's late work had an influence on the American painters of Pop Art, such as Roy Lichtenstein. In the years from 1914 to 1916, Léger experienced the horrors of war in the trenches. This experience changed him, and subsequently he turned increasingly to the world of the immediately visible, the living space of modern man and the objects that surround him. The predominant theme became the big city with its architecture, its advertising spaces and its signs.

Because of the liveliness of his imagination and because of his generous use of colors, he is considered to be the pioneer of Impressionism and every year he exhibited paintings in the Paris Salon whose passionate subjects caused a sensation and often shocked them. Delacroix's works are assigned to the French late romanticism, but he refused to be added to the increasingly popular trend of the romantic school. He became the model for many impressionists who decidedly differentiated themselves from the romantic school and classicism.

Francisco de Zurbarán (baptised 7 November 1598 in Fuente de Cantos in Extremadura; † 27 August 1664 in Madrid) was a Spanish painter from the Golden Age ("Siglo de Oro") of Iberian Baroque art. He is known primarily for his religious paintings depicting monks, nuns, and martyrs, and for his still lifes. Zurbarán gained the nickname "Spanish Caravaggio," owing to the forceful use of chiaroscuro in which he excelled. He was the father of the painter Juan de Zurbarán. *1598-1664 Francisco de Zurbarán MORE FROM THIS ARTIST BUY NOW YOUR LIMITED VERSION GO Be one of the owners of this limited edition and buy one of the 3333 hand signed books!
