Happy 60th Birthday, Barbie!
In 1986, “Andy Warhol made his mark by creating images of American #icons. Barbie was added to the list when #Warhol painted her in 1986. The first Barbie portrait was reportedly inspired by Warhol’s #muse, Billy Boy, a jewelry #designer and member of New York’s downtown scene in the 1980s, who owned a vast collection of Barbie #dolls.” See her incredible history here: www.barbiemedia.com/timeline
