On what date was Andy Warhol born?

Andy Warhol was born on August 6, 1928. He was born Andrew Warhola in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Julia and Andrej Warhola, immigrants from what is now Slovakia.

Warhol grew up in the city's neighborhood of Oakland and later studied commercial art at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, now Carnegie Mellon University. His early training helped shape the precise, reproducible style that became central to his art.

Some sources have incorrectly repeated 1929 as Warhol's birth year, partly because Warhol himself sometimes encouraged uncertainty around personal details. Official biographical records and the consensus of major art institutions give 1928.

His Pittsburgh childhood remained important to his public identity. In 1995, the Andy Warhol Museum opened in Pittsburgh, becoming the largest museum in North America dedicated to a single artist.
