Andy Warhol was the leading figure of the American Pop Art movement, celebrated for transforming consumer culture and celebrity into high art through works like his Campbell's Soup Cans and Marilyn Monroe silkscreens. He blurred the boundaries between commercial and fine art, founding The Factory as a hub of avant-garde creativity in New York. His influence extended into film, music, and publishing, making him one of the most recognizable and studied artists of the 20th century.

Swoon

Swoon (born Caledonia Curry) is an American street artist best known for her intricate, large-scale woodblock-printed and hand-cut paper portraits of ordinary people pasted on buildings in cities around the world, creating a humanizing counterpoint to advertising-saturated urban space. She was the first woman to have a solo exhibition at MoMA PS1 and has led community-driven art projects in post-Katrina New Orleans and post-earthquake Haiti. Her practice blurs the lines between fine art, activism, and community engagement.
