This is reflected in his work, which was heavily influenced by comics and pop culture magazines. After art school, Warhol worked as a commercial illustrator and used the funds to invest in his increasingly experimental and bold artistic career. In the 1960s, his studio, The Factory, became a hit among artists and celebrities and was featured prominently in his work. The rest, as they say, is history!<\/p>\n<h2>The exhibition will be running until May 16th, so if you haven\u2019t visited AlUla yet, you now have a good excuse to do so.<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AlUla?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AlUla<\/a> The exhibition &#8220;FAME: Andy Warhol in AlUla&#8221; is a superb integration of the artist&#8217;s works in the magical setting of Maraya.
