First-Class Tribute to Andy Warhol Scheduled
NATIONWIDE
*
Pop artist Andy Warhol will be remembered on a postage stamp.
Famed for his portraits of Marilyn Monroe and paintings of a soup can, Warhol’s career also included ventures in design, photography, film, television and publishing.
The commemorative stamp will be issued Aug. 9 at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. It will be available the next day.
Warhol, who died Feb. 22, 1987, in New York, has held on to fame far longer than the 15 minutes he predicted everyone would have.
The 37-cent stamp features his 1964 self-portrait, which is in the collection of the museum in Pittsburgh, where he was born.
