75 ways to celebrate Warhol's 75th
Andy Warhol, the king of Pop Art and one of the most influential artists of
all time, would have celebrated his 75th birthday today. Sadly, he died in
1987, but that doesn't mean we can't throw him a party.
After doing some research on the artist's vibrant life, I've compiled several
ways to honor Warhol — and even if it weren't his birthday, I'd say these
are some pretty good rules to live by.

1. Go to Pittsburgh. Warhol's birthplace is now home to the Andy Warhol
Museum and the artist's grave. He lived in the city until 1949, when he
moved to New York.

2. Change your name. Born Andrew Warhola, he changed his name after
Glamour magazine misspelled it in an illustration. For a brief period he only
went by "Warhol."

3. Visit a museum! Here's a list of some museums that include Warhol's
works in their permanent collections. Why not bask in one during your
lunch break?

4. Go to a department store. "When you think about it, department stores
are kind of like museums," Warhol once said. Walk inside, stand still and
observe.
