Andy Warhol is the most influential artist of the post-war period. The most famous proponent of Pop Art, his earliest works depict consumer goods and images from the popular press. Many of his most powerful images betray his enduring fascination with celebrity and mortality.

Particular highlights are the unique collection of fifty early works on paper as well as the iconic multiple Skulls, 1976 and the multiple Self-portrait Strangulation, 1978. The collection includes a unique room of late diptychs as well as the celebrated four part Camouflage of 1986 which were the central exhibit in the Andy Warhol retrospective at the National Gallery of Scotland in 2007.
