The Chaotic But True Life Of Andy Warhol

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
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.

Lots of artists hate Warhol and with a good amount of them, it's because they didn't think of it 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 a lot 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!

Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal!
Eating STRAWBERRY POP-TARTS. while watching this Weird History video!
With Taylor Swift, Preston from Can't Hardy Wait, and Jerry Seinfeld backing Pop-Tarts, Pop-Tarts will be a smash hit!
From the Weird History video Facts About 80s Snacks
Joseph Gordon-Levitt also endorses Pop-Tarts, saw him on the film The Chicago Seven (2020) the other night, another fantastic performance by him!

My hypocrite Catholic mother decided the metal zipper Sticky Fingers album I had was vulgar, left the record and paper sleeve, but threw out the cover, then lied and said she had no idea what happened to it. but it was disgusting anyway. I've seen it with the metal zipper (it was replaced with just cardboard, no zipper, selling online for $400-$1000. One of the smaller ways she failed as a mother, role model and human being.

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.

The market for Warhol originals is very rigged. Most works are just traded amongst a group of a few dozen people who are all in a cartel like agreement to keep the prices super high. They mostly sell back and forth to each other to inflate the prices of other available works. Occasionally they will sell one off to a billionaire and make bank.

I don’t know if he’s my favorite artist, but he’s done one of my favorite art pieces ever when he hand painted the BMW M1 ProCar. For my particular tastes, it’s a great combination of my love for automobiles, racing, and art. I know a lot of people either love him or hate him, but I personally like his art and photography a lot.

I’ve always thought Warhol was overrated, and still do. I did learn a few things from this video about him as a person that I didn’t know before, and I think I have a greater respect for him as a human being, but nothing can change the fact that he is extremely overrated.

0: 15 The banana reminds me of Alpha Pie Epsilon (APE, the fraternity I was in when a student at Doane University.
Other than Alpha Pie Epsilon and Doane Players, I was in Collegiate Chorale (Choir Group) and Psych/Soc Club (Club for Psychology and Sociology majors.

If it's a recorded tape of them speaking about these things then I don't see how that's rumor that's more like a fact or a confession they just don't want their dirt for the world to see say it for what it is

I wasn't sure of his art before my ex took an Art History class and I learned how much artists borrow ideas from others to create new art. Then I figured out what a genius he was.

Love Andy! I love his brother Paul Warhola also; he did putting chickens feet into paint and let them run amuck on canvas. I am a Pittsburgher so I get to visit his grave and museum
reply

Also the Hells Angels were scared of him and his compound in the Hamptons manned by dudes with machine guns mick jagger had to hide out at Warhols so Hells Angels couldn’t kill him
reply

I like some of his art, but I think the culture he created around him is what was more fascinating. Andy's Chest off the Lou Reed album Transformer is about when he was shot.

7: 23 That is just like the peeing statue in the film The Money Pit (1986, watched that again last night!
They really need to make a film series of that, it's so brilliant!

9: 56 I will have to check out the album Sticky Fingers.
The Rolling Stones is one of my newest favorite bands but I have yet to listen to all their music.

reply

Debra Harry also did that cool video Sweet and Low that paid tribute with the video outlined images of her throughout and Thanks Andy at the very end!

11: 19 The Lou Reed song Perfect Day, sang by a collection of popular artists (including Elton John, was the #1 hit in the UK on my 18th birthday.

If I had met Warhol at my age now, i wouldn't have been impressed. If I had met him in my young party days, I'd probably be right into him.
reply

Love Warhol! I live in Pittsburgh and go to his museum frequently. Seems most people either love his work or hate it, not much middle ground.
reply

Awful human being, an abuser and a vampire, the fact his 15 minutes of fame prophecy came true in the social media age is not a good thing.
