Andy Warhol is an artist famous for his eccentric personality, artistic style and infatuation with pop culture.

From his Marilyn Monroe paintings to his Campbell soup works, Warhol always seemed to understand consumerism -whether it involved products or show business, better than any artist of his generation.

Apart from his paintings and videos, Warhol was also very famous for his photographs. One of the most important works of his archive is a series of Polaroid photos, in which the biggest people of the art, the music and even the sports industries, pose for the extravagant artist.

From OJ Simpson to Yoko Ono, a few of the most famous and successful stars have been photographed with Warhol’s Polaroid Big Shot Camera. Below you can see photos taken during the 70s and the 80s.
