The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts was formed in 1987 at the behest of Warhol's will. Its purpose is to both protect the legacy of the artist, educate the public about his work, as well as raise funds for its highly acclaimed grant programs. The Foundation awards about $15 million in grants annually to emerging visual artists.

Andy Warhol was an American artist, film director and producer. Warhol was a leading figure in the Pop Art movement, where he tackled the integration of art, celebrity and consumerist culture in his works. Before becoming the art icon he is known as today, Warhol was a commercial illustrator. After moving from Pittsburgh to New York in 1949, Warhol designed store window displays and created ads for luxury brands such as Chanel and Lighthouse Footwear.
