  • Anyone who's ever wanted their "15 minutes of fame" has Andy Warhol to thank. Commonly associated with Campbell's Soup cans, pale wigs, and an assortment of strange artists and celebrities working together in a place known as the Factory, Warhol became one of the most famous American artists in history. The Andy Warhol life story is colorful, filled with the drugs, adult pleasure, and creativity that infected the New York art scene of the era. Although many wild tales exist about the Factory and his relationships with celebrities from the 1960s to the 1980s, true stories about Andy Warhol reveal a man who wasn't always in tune with his image.

      I understand why the juicy gossip heard on Andy Warhol's cassettes would be troubling for everyone to hear while those speaking on the tapes are still alive ( and those 3rd party people mentioned are still alive ) . However , WHY WAIT till 2037 for the contents of the recordings to be made public when the people listed in this video are now already dead ( some aren't even famous IF they're still alive ) ? Why not release the audio of the tapes 1 at a time after each person on the tape has died ? ♑️✍️🇳🇴🇦🇺

      @@Friendship1nmillion There might be a legal reason. It probably covers the tapes as a whole as well, so releasing the tapes one by one isn't possible. I'm not a lawyer, so I can't tell you how it works legally, but this isn't the first time I've heard of a collection that couldn't be released until a certain year.

      Interesting movie. Julian Schnabel, also a painter, made his directorial debut with that film. He knew both Basquiat and Warhol. The cast is insane - I bet he just asked a bunch of his friends to play parts, and there's everybody from David Bowie to Gary Oldman's mom, passing through Willem Dafoe, Christopher Walken and Courtney Love.

    I loved Andy Warhol! I would've liked to see a little bit in this video about the artists Warhol pretty much discovered, like Basquiat, though. Even if some people didn't understand or like Andy's work, he was still incredibly adept at finding others whose artwork might have remained completely unknown if it hadn't been for Andy's intuitive sense of what was really unique and different and that would speak to others. ❤

    Warhol's famous Campbell soup can paintings were first exhibited in Los Angeles in 1962. The critics ignored the show and the art world laughed at it. None of the paintings sold. The gallerist Irving Blum gave Andy 1,000 dollars for the 32 paintings. They are now in the Museum of Modern Art in New York and are probably worth 200 million dollars.

Famous drag queens in his movies, funny to hear the girls talk about wanting to get on welfare, drinking beer. The most famous was Edie Sedgwick, very rich, beautiful, carried her syringes (heroin) in her handbag, with pills thrown in just in case 😂. Paul Morrissey was his film/art partner. Famous for fifteen minutes was one of Warhol's famous quotes. Loved the video, thank you. Huh, alright ❤

    Lots of artists hate Warhol and with a good amount of them, it's because they didn't think of his ideas first...
    My favorite Andy Warhol moment was when he accidentally wondered onto an interview segment of a televised then-WWF/now-WWE show. He was a pro wrestling fan (which really makes more and more sense the more you think about it) and got backstage access, then walked through the wrong door and suddenly "Mean" Gene Oakerlund was giving him an on-the-fly interview live on air. Classic!
