AI notes: Andy Warhol died on February 22, 1987, in New York City, at the age of 58. He had been admitted to New York Hospital (now NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell) for what was considered a routine gallbladder surgery, but he suffered unexpected postoperative complications, including cardiac arrhythmia, during recovery. Warhol’s sudden death shocked the art world, as he had appeared to be recovering well. Widely regarded as the leading figure of Pop Art, Warhol transformed modern art through his use of commercial imagery—such as Campbell’s Soup Cans and Marilyn Diptych—and through his influential studio, The Factory, which became a hub for artists, musicians, and cultural figures. His death marked the end of a defining era in postwar American art, though his influence on visual culture, celebrity, and mass media remains profound.
