BEGINNING OF LIFE
Social actions are makeshift forms, often courageous, sometimes ridiculous, always strange. The controversial artist, whose work has reaped up to $105 million for a single painting, was once called “the bellwether of the art market.” But his personal life? That wasn’t for sale. His name is synonymous with pop art and his expansive career was one of the most diverse, controversial, and celebrated of his time. He was not only a visual artist but also a filmmaker, author, art collector, and founder of Interview magazine. Over the decades Warhol was praised for his creative amalgamation of celebrity, advertising, and artistic expression, but some critics viewed his works in the latter part of his career as vacant and superficial and shunned him as a “business artist.” Warhol says, “Making money is art, and working is art and good business is the best art,”.

his father, Jacob Israel

cially enjoying photographing the clothes in his father’s store. At the age of 12, he joined the YMHA (Young Men’s Hebrew Association) Camera Club. Avedon later described one childhood moment in particular as helping to kindle his interest in fashion photography: “One evening my father and I were walking down Fifth Avenue looking at the store windows,” he remembered. “In front of the Plaza Hotel, I saw a bald man with a camera posing a very beautiful woman against a tree. He lifted his head, adjusted her dress a little bit and took some photographs. Later, I saw the picture in Harper’s Bazaar. I didn’t understand why he’d taken her against that tree until I got to Paris a few years later: the tree in front of the Plaza had that same peeling bark you see all over the Champs-Elysees.” Avedon attended DeWitt Clinton High School in New York City, where one of his classmates and closest friends was the great writer James Baldwin. In addition to his continued interest in fashion and photography, in high school Avedon also developed an affinity for poetry. He and Baldwin served as co-editors of the school’s prestigious literary magazine, The Magpie, and during his senior year, in 1941, Avedon was named “Poet Laureate of New York City High Schools.” After high school, Avedon enrolled at

Louise Nevelson was an iconoclast artist known for her monochromatic abstract expressionist sculptures. She rose to be an internationally known artist and worked into her 80s. In 1932, Nevelson traveled to Germany to study Cubism with Hans Hofmann, until the Nazis closed the school. She followed Hofmann to New York and enrolled at the Art Students League, an art school where Jackson Pollock and other Abstract Expressionists studied. She worked in various media—painting, sculpture and printing—often exemplifying an established modernist style. Early in the 1930s, Nevelson was a “starving artist,” living simply and for her art. She survived by selling some artwork and, in time, her reputation as a sculptor grew.
