Profiling the "Prince of Pop Art" from his 1930s Pittsburgh childhood through the height of his fame in 1966, Christensen shows that Andy Warhol became a visionary artist through determination and hard work. Highly textured oil and collage illustrations, which incorporate "replicas" of Warhol's art, provide a solid backdrop to a life that came to seem, in later years, glitzy and unreal.
