| Andy Warhol Carpets |
 The American artist Andrew Warhola, or Andy Warhol as he was known publicly, led the modern pop art scene during his lifespan from August 1928 to February 1986. Warhol was one of the very few artists who enjoyed fame and popularity while still alive, and he was very successful in many other fields besides painting. One of his first careers involved commercial illustrating. However, after a stint in this field he went on to direct some very controversial films, produce records, and write.Andy was a private sort of character, and there was plenty of speculation regarding him throughout his life. His social circle was one of great diversity. Unbeknown-st to many, it was Warhol who coined the widely used phrase, "fifteen minutes of fame". The Warhol Museum, which lies in the artist's hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is the largest dedication in the United States to a single artist and his work. Another of the ways that Warhol's art can live on around us is through the Andy Warhol Home Collection, a tasteful and classy array of home decor featuring the artist's own designs. Notable among the elegant items in this collection are the Andy Warhol carpets. Andy Warhol carpets are, like the rest of the collection, divided into four main categories of style. Each category represents an era of Warhol's life, and they are Simply Andy, Pop Abstracts, Signature, and Factory. The Simply Andy collection features designs that hearken back to Warhol's earliest days in pencil drawing and fashion illustrating. The Pop Abstracts collection features modern pieces from the beloved pop art archives of the artist. The Signature collection contains all of Warhol's most popular and recognizable pieces from each era of his career. The Factory collection draws its influence from the shading and textures of the artist's fashion design. One of the most popular Andy Warhol carpeting is the Blue/Brown Area Rug from the Andy's Factory collection. This piece features soft earth tones in subtly blended gradations from shade to shade. A truly elegant piece to set off any decor, it comes in a variety of sizes and shapes so that it may fit into nearly any space, and a variety of colors as well. Another classy piece from the Factory collection of Andy Warhol carpets and rugs is the Windowpane area rug. This seventy-two inch round rug features four colorful windowpane scenes on a misty background. This evocative piece makes a beautiful statement in a room of any type. Andy Warhol carpets and rugs are designed with the artist's own styles. They are modern, yet elegant pieces constructed with beauty and longevity in mind. They are appealing to discriminating interior decorators of any age and taste. |
