Pop art pioneer, filmmaker, and publisher, Andy Warhol was one of the most important visual artists of the 20th century. He joked “art is whatever you can get away with.” A painting, a movie, a TV commercial, an album cover, or an interview with a movie star. For Andy, art could be anything, but whatever he did, he did it as if it were fine art. He made paintings with a photo booth and ‘Screen Tests’ – movies that barely moved. He made an 8-hour movie starring the Empire State Building. He changed the way we see the world.
Andy Warhol’s world has been inspiring François Nars for years. Now NARS introduces a limited edition collection in the spirit of Andy Warhol. From the formulas and shades to the packaging and names, every element of the collection evokes François Nars’ take on the cool, image-rich, character-laden world of Warhol.

IN AN EXCLUSIVE COLLABORATION, NARS AND SEPHORA GO BOLD, BRIGHT, AND POP WITH ANDY WARHOL
Andy said: “Pop art is about liking things.” Like flowers. Soap. Money. Celebrities. Warhol loved silk screens because if you get the picture right, you can make more just the same. But in a range of colors – something different every time. Andy said, “I use mostly artificial color.” If you’re not trying to be real you don’t have to get it right. That’s art.

Andy said, “Beauty really has to do with the way a person carries it off.” It’s an aura. A company once approached Andy about buying his aura. “I never figured out what they wanted. Aura is something that only somebody else can see.” François Nars could see Andy’s aura and here it is.
