Now, a LEGO Ideas submission is turning that same can into something equally revolutionary: a buildable gateway to understanding the artist himself. This isn't just about stacking bricks into a cylindrical shape, though the technical achievement of creating such smooth curves at 24 studs diameter deserves recognition. This project represents months of research into Warhol's working methods, his relationship with popular culture, and the visual language of The Factory that became synonymous with 1960s avant-garde creativity.

It's a good day when somebody gives you 13 Andy Warhols. And what's nice is many of them are super-iconic like the Marilyn Monroes. Those are something you see all the time, the kind of poppy art ones where Marilyn Monroe looks kind of like a drag queen. When you get a series of those, it's iconic people walk in and they say: `I've seen that before!' And that's kind of cool.

An interpretation of the structure and color composition in the renowned artist's portrait, the Piaget watch is the accumulation of a six-month study of Andy Warhol's work and archives. The watchmaker's designers focus on integrating the idea of a collage into a small, functional object, and the result is a dial that uses stone marquetry, a technique that arranges small pieces of inlaid stone to form an image.

A man was killed on Wednesday (17 September) on the National Mall in Washington, DC, while unloading a 1979 BMW Art Car that was custom-painted by Andy Warhol. According to the local ABC affiliate , a winch that had been holding the vehicle in place on a flatbed truck came loose and the man was pinned under the car. Despite efforts to save him, he was pronounced dead at the scene; his identity has not been released.

The Hagerty Drivers Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to preserving automotive culture, will showcase Andy Warhol's legendary 1979 BMW M1 Art Car as part of its annual Cars at the Capital exhibition. Displayed inside the Foundation's signature glass enclosure, the Warhol BMW M1 will officially become the 37th vehicle documented in the National Historic Vehicle Register, with records permanently archived in the U.S. Library of Congress.

The Schoelkopf Gallery has unveiled a landmark exhibition that brings to light a body of work unseen for nearly five decades. Jamie Wyeth: Portraits of Andy Warhol and Rudolf Nureyev presents the artist's strikingly intimate studies of two cultural giants of the 20th century. Opening September 12 and running through October 17, 2025, the show revisits Wyeth's silken realism and offers a rare glimpse into his artistic dialogue with Pop Art's enfant terrible Andy Warhol and ballet's electrifying star Rudolf Nureyev.

Levine performed in many of Warhol's early underground films but never became famous, which is perhaps why she doesn't feature in Leamer's 'Warhol's Muses'.

Warhol's approach to the M1 remains radical; he insisted on painting the vehicle himself, applying 13 pounds of paint in loose, gestural strokes, evoking movement.
