Modern Masters: Andy Warhol

Art critic Alastair Sooke sets out to discover why Andy Warhol, the king of Pop Art is considered so great and how he still influences our lives today. On his journey he parties with Dennis Hopper, has a brush with Carla Bruni and gets to grips with Marilyn Monroe. Along the way he uncovers just how brilliantly Andy Warhol pinpointed and portrayed our obsessions with consumerism, celebrity and the media, and then went on to re-invent them.
