I seen a picture of Andy with John and Yoko, Warhol had one hand on John's crotch and the other on Yoko's chest. It's pretty funny

Yeah, that sounds familiar. I have a pic of Andy kissing John on the cheek.

I love the Death & Disaster series.

Andy's long-time boyfriend, John Giorno, did a few records with the likes of William S. Burroughs, Philip Glass, Laurie Anderson (her earliest stuff), The Fugs, artist Claes Oldenburg, poet Frank O'Hara, and Patti Smith.

They are up for legal download at ubu.

I liked the shirts and posters on that site, but they're too damn expensive.

Oh well.

There was a Warhol exhibit here last year but i found out about it the day AFTER it closed!! i was so pissed off.

What can I say? The guy was a genius. He defined the popular art scene for an entire generation. That sort of notoriety doesn't come easily.

krastian · 09.01.2006, 01:39 AM

Have you ever been to the states porky? You should come to Pittsburgh and check out the Warhol Museum before you die.

alteredcourse · 09.01.2006, 01:46 AM

I don't understand the whole Andy Warhol thing .
As far as i see, he hooked up a lot of influencial people - musicians, artists .
But what is it about his art, and what he created ? What is it, damnit !?

Technical wise, his art was nothing special. It was the fact that he was such a large part of the pop art scene that makes him a legend. He definitely had a distinct quality in all of his work. I guess if you don't like or get pop art, then you probably wouldn't like Warhol.

jon boy · 09.01.2006, 03:21 AM

no doubting that warhol is the best and my favourite artists probably.

i loved his retrospective in berlin a while back. i nearly came when i saw the brillo boxes all stacked up.

Andy Warhol & Keith Haring July 1984

Machines have less problems. I'd like to be a machine, wouldn't you?
Andy Warhol, 1963

Pop artists painted pictures of things that anyone walking along Broadway could recognize in a split second - comics, picnic tables, men's trousers, celebrities, shower curtains, refrigerators, Coke bottles - all great modern things that the Abstract Expressionists tried so hard not to notice at all.
Andy Warhol, 1980

TOTALLY!!!

porkmarras · 09.01.2006, 04:09 AM

In terms of giving life to banal objects that wouldnt have been given much attention at all,Warhol was the master.Not the first person to try that but certainly the most keen and succesful.His 'technique' had an erratic charm in its mechanical execution wich(as much as that was in fact just pure accident) gave some of the abhorrent images he sometimes used and serialized,a humane power that wasnt there to start with.

Washing Machine · 09.01.2006, 07:18 AM

Yeah Warhol was brilliant undoubtably but there were better artists in the Pop Art movement. The whole Pop Art thing produced some of the greatest artists of the 20th century. Claes Oldenburg and Allan D'Arcangelo are some of my favourite artists. The influnence that it had cannot be overstated.
