The recently installed Andy Monument, a gold statue of the late artist Andy Warhol, sits across from the northwest corner of Union Square in New York City. Warhol was one of the most influential and ground-breaking artists to emerge in the post-modern art era and was at the forefront of the pop-art movement.
