This incredibly lifelike sculpture is how iconic pop artist Andy Warhol might have looked like today – as he turned 83. Birmingham-based artist Edgar Askelovic (commonly known as ‘Edgar’) has unveiled the striking work ahead of what would have been the American artist’s birthday this past Saturday (6th August 2011). Edgar spent three months working on the piece and even sold his car to get the money to buy the materials he needed to create the artwork – which is based on an old photo of Warhol. Made from silicone and clay, the remarkably lifelike sculpture is intricately crafted – right down to the tiny grey hairs of stubble on Warhol’s face.
