Andy Warhol was gay. The iconic Pop Art pioneer, who revolutionized modern art and American culture, was openly homosexual throughout his adult life, though he rarely discussed his sexuality publicly during an era when doing so carried significant social and professional risks. Warhol’s orientation was well-known within his inner circle and the New York art scene, and his work often explored themes of desire, celebrity, and queer identity, even if he maintained a deliberately enigmatic public persona about his personal life.
