August 6:  Happy Birthday Andy Warhol!
On this day in 1928, pop artist Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburgh, PA.  His artwork ranged in many forms of media – drawing, painting, printmaking, silk screening, etc. – and he was also a pioneer in computer-generated art using Amiga computers.
As a visual artist, Warhol’s body of work contains some of the most recognizable pieces in the 20th century.  How much would a collection of soup-can related items signed by the late Andy Warhol be worth today?  Find out on this clip of Antiques Roadshow.
