As a founder of Pop Art he used saturated colors-reds,blues,yellows--as one would find in comic books or advertisements. He was also was a big fan of silver, and covered his NY art studio, 'The Factory', with tin foil and silver paint.
Andy Warhol, as he is known, used many colors.But he is most famous for his contrasting portraits , in bright colors like red ,blue , yellow , green, black, purple, orange, white and pink. Probably his most famous silk screens were of Marilyn Monroe, Liz Taylor,Himself, John F.Kennedy's shooting, and his famous Flowers. He often repeated the images in multiples, too.

Where has Andy Warhol's work been displayed?
Virtually any museum can get hold of a Warhol. He made so many identical paintings that there is enough to go around. I haven't been to a modern art museum without a Warhol or two that I recognize.
Yes, Andy Warhol or Andrew Warhola was a famous painter from the 1960s on.
Why did Andy Warhol like to use celebrities in his art work?
Andy Warhol used celebrities in his art work because he could not think of an original subject matter. His friends suggested that he should paint something he loved and he loved celebrities, so he painted them.
Did Andy warhol dye his hair silver?
Kinda... He used the "drip drop" technique, which is kind of a cop-out and takes little talent. He admits he picked it as his signature style because it is easy in some interview. Furthermore, a large amount of his work were silk screen copies that he would sign and sell for loads more then lithographed pieces. That is where he made serious money. So the answer is yes, but that it was easy and he sort of cheated with the copies. Nevertheless, he is the BEST artist of our lifetime and was a genius.
What color were Andy Warhol's eyes?
He started painting with dark greenish-brown colors until a French painter convinced him to use a more colorful palette. More on Vincent Van Gogh: http://www.factmonster.com/ce6/people/A0824048.html

He died on February 22nd 1987 (aged 58) in New York City
What is Andy Warhol's piece 'Moonwalk' about?
He saw a group of black street kids doing this move, (which was called the Backslide). He liked it and asked them if they would show him how to do it. MJ continued to practice while still living with his parents.
He perfected and refined the moves making it his own - and often adding the tip-toe stand to round it off during performance ...and calling it the Moonwalk.
However, the first person I saw doing the backslide was a man called, Jeffrey Daniels, who was from an 80's pop group called, 'Shalamar'; I remember the time he performed this style of dance on 'Top Of The Pops', to the song - 'Night to Remember', because that was one of my favourite songs back in 82 :>) However, the roots of the backslide style of dance actually originated many years ago.
Okay, just went off to see if I could get the link for you to paste in, (YouTube is great for oldies, haa!...here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ImkBve8OW8
So, about a year later, Michael had already refind and tweaked it, basically making it his own - then giving it more exposure...The rest, as we know, is history :>)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Michael Jackson had never claimed he invented the Moonwalk, and has stated this numerous times - how, who and where he first saw it.
He also includes this section in his own 1988 biog - 'Moonwalk' - Always giving credit to the street kids, etc.
As for the robotic stuff you'll see Jeffrey Daniels do on above link - well, Michael was doing that way back in his teens :>) Here's a link to that, in case you have not yet seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj71HPMSOsY ... He was aways a cool mover/groover
Take care :>)
