Twenty years after his death, pop art icon Andy Warhol is a seminal
influence for contemporary artists and a collectors' darling, even
though what drove the man and his art remains a mystery.

Big mystery - Warhol was a commercial artist throughout his career and
the only thing that drives a commercial artist is $$$$$$$$$$. Warhol's
true "art" was his ability to captivate an audience long enough to
sell them his crap. In the context of Great ART, Warhol contributed
nothing - the man had no artistic skill and worse yet, grossly lacked
creative genius.
