Biography

Childhood and early career

Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. ^[1] Andy was the third child of his parents, Ondrej (Andrew) Warhola (the surname was spelled Varchola in Europe, and was modified after immigrating to America) and Julia Warhola, née Ulja (Julia) Justyna Zavacky. Julia Warhola, née Ulja (Julia Justyna Zavacka ( November 17, 1892 &mdash November 22, 1972) was the mother of the American artist His parents were working-class immigrants of Lemkos-Rusyns (Ruthenian) ethnicity from Mezőlaborc, now Medzilaborce, of Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in northeast Slovakia).

Warhol's father worked in a coal mine. The family lived at 55 Beelen Street and later at 3252 Dawson Street in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Oakland is the academic cultural and healthcare center of Pittsburgh and is Pennsylvania's third largest " Downtown " ^[2]. The family was Byzantine Catholic and attended St. John Chrysostom Byzantine Catholic Church. The Ruthenian Catholic Church is a Sui iuris (ie self-governing Catholic Church (see Particular Church) which uses the Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom Byzantine Catholic Church is an historic Eastern Catholic church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. Andy Warhol has two older brothers John and Paul.

Hypochondriasis (or hypochondria, sometimes referred to as health phobia) refers to an excessive preoccupation or worry about having a serious illness Often bed-ridden as a child, he became an outcast among his school-mates and bonded with his mother very strongly (Guiles, 1989). When in bed he drew, listened to the radio and collected pictures of movie stars around his bed. Warhol later described this period as very important in the development of his personality, skill-set and preferences.

Warhol showed an early artistic talent and studied commercial art at the School of Fine Arts at Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh (now Carnegie Mellon University). Commercial art is a subsector of Creative services, and refers to Art created for commercial purposes primarily Advertising.

These were done in a loose, blotted ink style, and figured in some of his earliest showings in New York at the Bodley Gallery. With the concurrent rapid expansion of the record industry and the introduction of the vinyl record, Hi-Fi, and stereophonic recordings, RCA Records hired Warhol, along with another freelance artist, Sid Maurer, to design album covers and promotional materials. RCA Records (originally The Victor Talking Machine Company, then RCA Victor is one of the flagship labels of Sony Music Entertainment. ^[3]

The 1960s

Andy Warhol's first New York solo Pop exhibit was hosted at Eleanor Ward's Stable Gallery November 6-24th, 1962. The Stable Gallery, originally located on West 58th Street in New York City, USA, was founded in 1953 by Eleanor Ward The exhibit included the works "Marilyn diptych," "100 Soup Cans," "100 Coke Bottles" and "100 Dollar Bills. " At the Stable Gallery exhibit the artist met for the first time John Giorno who would star in Warhol's first film, "Sleep," in 1963. The Stable Gallery, originally located on West 58th Street in New York City, USA, was founded in 1953 by Eleanor Ward John Giorno (born 1936 is an North American poet and performance artist

It was during the 1960s that Warhol began to make paintings of famous American products such as "Campbell's Soup Cans" from the Campbell Soup Company and Coca-Cola, as well as paintings of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Troy Donahue, and Elizabeth Taylor. Campbell Soup Company ( (also known as Campbell's) is a well-known American producer of Canned soups and related products Coca-Cola is a carbonated Soft drink sold in stores restaurants and Vending machines in more than 200 countries Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson, June 1 1926 &ndash August 5 1962 baptized Norma Troy Donahue ( January 27, 1936 – September 2, 2001) was an American Actor, known for being a Teen idol. Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, DBE (born 27 February 1932) is a two-time Academy Award -winning English-American actress He founded "The Factory", his studio during these years and gathered around himself a wide range of artists, writers, musicians, and underground celebrities. The Factory was Andy Warhol 's original New York City studio from 1962 to 1968, although his later studios were known as The Factory as well A studio is a Artist 's or worker's workroom or an artist and his or her Employees who work within that studio He switched to silkscreen prints which he produced serially, seeking not only to make art of mass-produced items but to mass produce the art itself. Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink blocking stencil Art refers to a diverse range of Human activities creations and expressions that are appealing to the Senses or Emotions of a human individual Mass production (also called flow production, repetitive flow production, series production, or serial production) is the production of By minimizing the role of his own hand in the production of his work and declaring that he wanted to be "a machine", Warhol sparked a revolution in art. His work quickly became very controversial and popular.

Warhol's work from this period revolves around American Pop (Popular) culture. He painted dollar bills, celebrities, brand name products and images from newspaper clippings - many of the latter were iconic images from headline stories of the decade (e. g. photographs of mushroom clouds, and police dogs attacking civil rights protesters). A mushroom cloud is a distinctive Mushroom -shaped Cloud of condensed Water vapor or Debris resulting from a very large Explosion. See also Protests of 1968 Historically the civil rights movement was a concentrated period of time around the world of approximately twenty years (1960-1980 in His subjects were instantly recognizable and often had a mass appeal. This aspect interested him most and it unifies his paintings from this period. Take for example Warhol's comments on the appeal of Coke:

What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coca Cola, Liz Taylor drinks Coca Cola, and just think, you can drink Coca Cola, too. Coca-Cola is a carbonated Soft drink sold in stores restaurants and Vending machines in more than 200 countries A coke is a coke and no amount of money can get you a better coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the cokes are the same and all the cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it.

– The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: (From A to B and Back Again), 1975, ISBN 0-15-671720-4

This quotation both expresses his affection for popular culture, and evidences an ambiguity of perspective that cuts across nearly all of the artist's statements about his own work.

New York's Museum of Modern Art hosted a Symposium on pop art in December 1962 during which artists like Warhol were attacked for "capitulating" to consumerism. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA is an art museum located in Midtown Manhattan in New York City, USA, on 53rd Street between Fifth Pop Art is a visual Art movement that emerged in the mid 1950s in Britain and in parallel in the late 1950s in the United States. Year 1962 ( MCMLXII) was a Common year starting on Monday (the link is to a full 1962 calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Critics were scandalized by Warhol's open embrace of market culture. This symposium set the tone for Warhol's reception. Throughout the decade it became more and more clear that there had been a profound change in the culture of the art world, and that Warhol was at the center of that shift.

A pivotal event was the 1964 exhibit "The American Supermarket," a show held in Paul Bianchini's Upper East Side gallery. Year 1964 ( MCMLXIV) was a Leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display full calendar of the 1964 Gregorian calendar. The show was presented as a typical small supermarket environment, except that everything in it from the produce, canned goods, meat, posters on the wall, etc. were created by six prominent pop artists of the time including the controversial (and like-minded) Billy Apple, Mary Inman, and Robert Watts.

As an advertisement illustrator in the 1950s, Warhol used assistants to increase his productivity. Collaboration would remain a defining (and controversial) aspect of his working methods throughout his career; in the 1960s, however, this was particularly true. One of the most important collaborators during this period was Gerard Malanga. Gerard Joseph Malanga (born March 20[[ 943]] is a North American Poet, Photographer, Filmmaker, curator and archivist Malanga assisted the artist with producing silkscreens, films, sculpture, and other works at "The Factory", Warhol's aluminum foil-and-silver-paint-lined studio on 47th Street (later moved to Broadway).

Freddie (Fred Herko was an avant-garde dancer and choreographer trained at Juilliard. Robert Olivo aka Ondine ( June 16, 1937 - April 28, 1989) was an American Actor. Ronald Tavel (born May 1941 is an American writer director and actor currently best known for his work with Andy Warhol and The Factory. Mary Woronov (born December 8, 1943 or 1946) is an American actress well known for her roles in Cult films; she has appeared in over 80 movies Billy Linich, known as Billy Name and Billy Goat, (born 22 February 1940 in Poughkeepsie New York) is an American Brigid Berlin (also known as Brigid Polk born September 6, 1939) is an artist and former Warhol superstar. During this decade, Warhol also groomed a retinue of bohemian eccentrics upon whom he bestowed the designation "Superstars", including Edie Sedgwick, Viva, and Ultra Violet.

Important figures in the New York underground art/cinema world (e. g. writer John Giorno, film-maker Jack Smith) also appear in Warhol films of the 1960s, revealing Warhol's connections to a diverse range of artistic scenes during this period. John Giorno (born 1936 is an North American poet and performance artist Jack Smith ( 14 November 1932 in Columbus Ohio - 25 September 1989 in New York City) By the end of the decade, Andy Warhol was himself a celebrity, appearing frequently in newspapers and magazines alongside Factory cohorts like Sedgwick.

Shooting

On June 3, 1968, Valerie Solanas shot Warhol and art critic and curator Mario Amaya at Warhol's studio. Events 350 - Roman usurper Nepotianus, of the Constantinian dynasty, proclaims himself Roman Emperor, entering Year 1968 ( MCMLXVIII) was a Leap year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar.

Before the shooting, Solanas had been a marginal figure in the Factory scene. She founded a "group" called S. C. U. M. (Society for Cutting up Men) and authored the S.C.U.M. Manifesto, a separatist feminist attack on patriarchy. SCUM Manifesto ( S ociety For C utting U p M en is a tract written in 1968 by Valerie Solanas that Separatist feminism is a form of Feminism that does not support Heterosexual relationships due to a belief that sexual disparities between Men ^[4] Solanas appears in the 1968 Warhol film, I, A Man. Earlier on the day of the attack, Solanas had been turned away from the Factory after asking for the return of a script she had given to Warhol. The script, apparently, had been misplaced. ^[5]

Amaya received only minor injuries and was released from the hospital later the same day. Warhol however, was seriously wounded by the attack and barely survived (doctors opened his chest and massaged his heart to help stimulate its movement again). He suffered physical effects for the rest of his life. The shooting had a profound effect on Warhol's life and art. ^[6]

Solanas was arrested the day after the assault. By way of explanation, she said that "He had too much control over my life. " After the shooting, the Factory scene became much more tightly controlled, and for many this event brought the "Factory 60s" to an end. ^[7]

The shooting was mostly overshadowed in the media due to the murder of Robert F. Kennedy two days later. Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy (November 20 1925 – June 6 1968 also called RFK, was the United States Attorney General from 1961 to 1964 and a On recalling the event of the shooting Warhol stated, "Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there. I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. "^[7]

The 1970s

Compared to the success and scandal of Warhol's work in the 1960s, the 1970s would prove a much quieter decade. This period, however, saw Warhol becoming more entrepreneurial. According to Bob Colacello, Warhol devoted much of his time to rounding up new, rich patrons for portrait commissions—including Mick Jagger, Liza Minnelli, John Lennon, Diana Ross, Brigitte Bardot, and Michael Jackson. Bob Colacello (1947 -) is an American writer Born in Brooklyn New York, Colacello graduated from the Edmund A Sir Michael Philip "Mick" Jagger, Kt (born 26 July 1943 is a Golden Globe -winning and two-time Grammy -winning English rock Liza May Minnelli (born March 12, 1946) is a legendary American actress and singer John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (born Diana Ross (born March 261944 is an American twelve-time Grammy and Oscar -nominated singer Record producer and actress whose musical repertoire Brigitte Bardot ( (born 28 September 1934 is a French actress, former fashion model, Singer and animal welfare/rights activist Michael Joseph Jackson (born August 29 1958 is an American musician entertainer and businessman Warhol's famous portrait of Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong was created in 1973.

Warhol used to socialize at Serendipity 3 and, later in the 70s, Studio 54, nightspots in New York City. Serendipity 3 (Serendipity III is a restaurant and general store located in the Upper East Side, in New York City. Studio 54 is a New York City Broadway theater and former Discothèque located at 254 West 54th Street in Manhattan. He was generally regarded as quiet, shy, and as a meticulous observer.

The 1980s

Warhol had a re-emergence of critical and financial success in the 1980s, partially due to his affiliation and friendships with a number of prolific younger artists, who were dominating the "bull market" of '80s New York art: Jean-Michel Basquiat, Julian Schnabel, David Salle and the so-called Neo-Expressionists, as well as Francesco Clemente, Enzo Cucchi and members of the Transavantguardia movement, which had become influential. In Investing, Financial markets are commonly believed to have market trends that can be classified as primary trends secondary trends (short-term and secular trends Jean-Michel Basquiat ( December 22 1960 - August 12, 1988) was an American Artist. Julian Schnabel (born 26 October 1951) is a American Artist and Filmmaker. David Salle (born 1952 is an American painter and leading contemporary figurative artist Neo-expressionism was a style of modern Painting that emerged in the late 1970s and dominated the art market until the mid-1980s Francesco Clemente (born in Naples, 23 March 1952) is an Italian painter. Enzo Cucchi (born in Morro d'Alba, Province of Ancona, 14 November 1949) is an Italian painter

By this period, Warhol's work had engendered controversy as to whether he had merely become a "business artist". ^[9] In 1979 unfavorable reviews met his exhibits of portraits of 1970s personalities and celebrities, calling them superficial, facile and commercial, with no depth or indication of the significance of the subjects. Year 1979 ( MCMLXXIX) was a Common year starting on Monday (link displays the 1979 Gregorian calendar) This article is about the Decade 1970-1979 For the Year 1970 see 1970. A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention This criticism was echoed for his 1980 exhibit of ten portraits at the Jewish Museum in New York, entitled "Jewish Geniuses", which Warhol, who exhibited no interest in Judaism or matters of interest to Jews, had described in his diary as "They're going to sell. Year 1980 ( MCMLXXX) was a Leap year starting on Tuesday (link displays the 1980 Gregorian calendar) " ^[9]

In hindsight, however, some critics have come to the realization that Warhol's superficiality and commerciality was in fact "the most brilliant mirror of our times", and that "Warhol had captured something irresistible about the zeitgeist of American culture in the 1970s. Zeitgeist ( pronounced) is a German language expression literally translated Zeit time; Geist spirit, meaning "the "^[9]

Warhol also had an appreciation for intense Hollywood glamour. He once said: "I love Los Angeles. I love Hollywood. They're so beautiful. Everything's plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic. " ^[10]

Sexuality

Many people think of Warhol as "asexual" and merely a "voyeur", but these notions have been debunked by biographers (such as Victor Bockris), explored by other members of The Factory scene such as Bob Colacello (in his book Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up), and by scholars like art historian Richard Meyer (in his book Outlaw Representation). Asexuality is a Sexual orientation that describes individuals who do not experience Sexual attraction. Voyeurism is the sexual interest in spying on people engaged in intimate behaviors such as undressing sexual activity or urinating Victor Bockris (born 1949 is an English-born US-based Author, primarily of Biographies of artists writers and musicians Bob Colacello (1947 -) is an American writer Born in Brooklyn New York, Colacello graduated from the Edmund A The question of how his sexuality influenced Warhol's work and shaped his relationship to the art world is a major subject of scholarship on the artist, and is an issue that Warhol himself addressed in interviews, in conversation with his contemporaries, and in his publications (e. g. Popism: The Warhol Sixties).

Throughout his career, Warhol produced erotic photography and drawings of male nudes. Many of his most famous works (portraits of Liza Minnelli, Judy Garland, Elizabeth Taylor, and films like Blow Job, My Hustler, and Lonesome Cowboys) draw from gay underground culture and/or openly explore the complexity of sexuality and desire. Liza May Minnelli (born March 12, 1946) is a legendary American actress and singer Judy Garland (born Frances Ethel Gumm; June 10 1922 – June 22 1969 was an American actress and singer Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, DBE (born 27 February 1932) is a two-time Academy Award -winning English-American actress Blow Job is a Short film directed by Andy Warhol. Filmed in January 1964 the 35-minute film was shot with a 16-millimetre Bolex silent Lonesome Cowboys ( 1968) is a film by American filmmaker Andy Warhol. Many of his films premiered in gay porn theaters. That said, some stories about Warhol's development as an artist revolved around the obstacle his sexuality initially presented as he tried to launch his career. The first works that he submitted to a gallery in the pursuit of a career as an artist were homoerotic drawings of male nudes. Homoeroticism refers to the representation of same-sex love and desire most especially as it is depicted or manifested in the Visual arts and Literature. They were rejected for being too openly gay. [1] In Popism, furthermore, the artist recalls a conversation with the film maker Emile de Antonio about the difficulty Warhol had being accepted socially by the then more famous (but closeted) gay artists Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. Emile de Antonio (1919 – December 16, 1989) was a director and producer of Documentary films, usually detailing political or social events circa 1960s Jasper Johns Jr (born May 15, 1930 in Augusta Georgia) is a contemporary American artist who primarily works in painting and Printmaking De Antonio explained that Warhol was "too swish and that upsets them. " In response to this, Warhol writes, "There was nothing I could say to that. It was all too true. So I decided I just wasn't going to care, because those were all the things that I didn't want to change anyway, that I didn't think I 'should' want to change . . . Other people could change their attitudes but not me". ^[7] In exploring Warhol's biography, many turn to this period - the late 1950s and early 1960s - as a key moment in the development of his persona. Some have suggested that his frequent refusal to comment on his work, to speak about himself (confining himself in interviews to responses like "Uhm, No" and "Uhm, Yes", and often allowing others to speak for him), and even the evolution of his Pop style can be traced to the years when Warhol was first dismissed by the inner circles of the New York art world. ^[11]

Religious beliefs

Warhol was a practicing Byzantine Rite Catholic. The Byzantine Rite, sometimes called the Rite of Constantinople or Constantinopolitan Rite, is the liturgical rite used currently (in various languages He regularly volunteered at homeless shelters in New York, particularly during the busier times of the year, and described himself as a religious person. Homeless shelters are temporary residences for homeless people ^[12] Many of his later works contain almost-hidden religious themes or subjects, and a body of religious-themed works was found posthumously in his estate. ^[12] Warhol also regularly attended Mass during his life, and the priest at Warhol's church, Saint Vincent's, said that the artist went there almost daily. The Mass is the Eucharistic celebration in the Latin liturgical rites of the Roman Catholic Church. ^[12] His art is noticeably influenced by the eastern Christian iconographic tradition which was so evident in his places of worship. Iconography is the branch of Art history which studies the identification description and the interpretation of the content of images

Warhol's brother has described the artist as "really religious, but he didn't want people to know about that because [it was] private. " Despite the private nature of his faith, in Warhol's eulogy John Richardson depicted it as devout: "To my certain knowledge, he was responsible for at least one conversion. He took considerable pride in financing his nephew's studies for the priesthood. "^[12]

Death

Events 1495 - King Charles VIII of France enters Naples to claim the city's throne Year 1987 ( MCMLXXXVII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link displays 1987 Gregorian calendar) According to news reports, he had been making good recovery from a routine gallbladder surgery at New York Hospital before dying in his sleep from a sudden heart attack.

Songs for Drella offers a kind of vie romancée of Warhol, focusing on his interpersonal relations. The songs fall roughly into three categories: Warhol's (semi-fictitious) first-person perspective, third-person narratives chronicling events and affairs, and first-person feelings towards and commentaries on Warhol by Reed and Cale themselves. On Drella, Reed apologizes to a departed Warhol and comes to terms with his part in their personal conflict.

Reed and Cale had been playing the songs live in 1989 as a song cycle before committing them to tape. By the end of recording Cale vowed never to work with Reed again due to personal differences; nevertheless, Songs for Drella would prove to be the overture to a full-blown Velvet Underground reunion.

Although the album was conceived as an indivisible whole, a single was released off it, "Nobody But You".

Works

Paintings

By the beginning of the 1960s, Warhol was a very successful commercial illustrator. His detailed and elegant drawings for I. Miller shoes were particularly popular. These illustrations consisted mainly of "blotted ink" drawings (or monoprints), a technique which he applied in much of his early art. Monoprinting is a form of Printmaking that has images or lines that cannot exactly be reproduced Although many artists of this period worked in commercial art, most did so discreetly. Warhol was so successful, however, that his profile as an illustrator seemed to undermine his efforts to be taken seriously as an artist.

In the early 1960s, Warhol tried to exhibit some of his drawings using these techniques in a gallery, only to be turned down. He began to rethink the relationship between his commercial work and the rest of his art. Instead of treating these things as opposites, he merged them, and began to take commercial and popular culture more explicitly as his topic.

Pop Art was an experimental form that several artists were independently adopting; some of these pioneers, such as Roy Lichtenstein, would later become synonymous with the movement. Pop Art is a visual Art movement that emerged in the mid 1950s in Britain and in parallel in the late 1950s in the United States. Roy Fox Lichtenstein (October 27 1923 &ndash September 29 1997 was a prominent American Pop artist his work heavily influenced by both popular advertising and Warhol, who would become famous as the "Pope of Pop", turned to this new style, where popular subjects could be part of the artist's palette. His early paintings show images taken from cartoons and advertisements, hand-painted with paint drips. The word cartoon has various meanings based on several very different forms of Visual art and Illustration. Those drips emulated the style of successful abstract expressionists (such as Robert Rauschenberg). Eventually, Warhol pared his image vocabulary down to the icon itself—to brand names, celebrities, dollar signs—and removed all traces of the artist's "hand" in the production of his paintings.

To him, part of defining a niche was defining his subject matter. Cartoons were already being used by Lichtenstein, typography by Jasper Johns, and so on; Warhol wanted a distinguishing subject. Typography is the art and techniques of arranging type, Type design, and modifying type Glyphs Type glyphs are created and modified using a variety Jasper Johns Jr (born May 15, 1930 in Augusta Georgia) is a contemporary American artist who primarily works in painting and Printmaking His friends suggested he should paint the things he loved the most. In his signature way of taking things literally, for his first major exhibition he painted his famous cans of Campbell's Soup, which he claimed to have had for lunch for most of his life. Art exhibitions are traditionally the space in which Art objects (in the most general sense meet an Audience. Campbell Soup Company ( (also known as Campbell's) is a well-known American producer of Canned soups and related products

He loved celebrities, so he painted them as well. A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention From these beginnings he developed his later style and subjects. Instead of working on a signature subject matter, as he started out to do, he worked more and more on a signature style, slowly eliminating the hand-made from the artistic process. Warhol frequently used silk-screening; his later drawings were traced from slide projections. Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink blocking stencil Warhol went from being a painter to being a designer of paintings. Painting (pān'tīng in Art, is the practice of applying Color to a Surface (support base such as e A designer is a person who designs something Perhaps the broadest definition is that provided by Herbert Simon: ‘Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing At the height of his fame as a painter, Warhol had several assistants who produced his silk-screen multiples, following his directions to make different versions and variations.

Warhol produced both comic and serious works; his subject could be a soup can or an electric chair. Warhol used the same techniques—silkscreens, reproduced serially, and often painted with bright colors—whether he painted celebrities, everyday objects, or images of suicide, car crashes, and disasters (as part of a 1962-1963 series called "Death and Disaster"). The "Death and Disaster" paintings (such as "Red Car Crash", "Purple Jumping Man", "Orange Disaster") transform personal tragedies into public spectacles, and signal the use of images of disaster in the then evolving media. "Popular press" redirects here note that the University of Wisconsin Press publishes under the imprint "The Popular Press"

The unifying element in Warhol's work is his deadpan Keatonesque style—artistically and personally affectless. Joseph Frank "Buster" Keaton ( October 4 1895 &ndash February 1 1966) was an Academy Award -winning American This was mirrored by Warhol's own demeanor, as he often played "dumb" to the media, and refused to explain his work. The artist was famous for having said that all you need to know about him and his works is already there, "on the surface. "

Warhol's work as a Pop Artist has always had conceptual aspects. Conceptual art is Art in which the Concept (s or Idea (s involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic and material concerns His series of do it yourself paintings and Rorschach blots are intended as pop comments on art and what art could be.

His cow wallpaper (literally, wallpaper with a cow motif) and his oxidation paintings (canvases prepared with copper paint that was then oxidized with urine) are also noteworthy in this context. In art a motif is a repeated idea pattern image or theme Paisley designs are referred to as motifs Redox (shorthand for reduction-oxidation reaction describes all Chemical reactions in which atoms have their Oxidation number ( Oxidation state Urine is a liquid waste product of the body secreted by the Kidneys by a process of filtration from Blood and Excreted through the Urethra.

He would come to the Factory to urinate on canvases that had already been primed with copper-based paint by Andy or Ronnie Cutrone, who was a second ghost pisser, much appreciated by Andy, who said that the vitamin B that Ronnie took made a prettier color when the acid in the urine turned the copper green. Did Andy ever use his own urine? My diary shows that when he first began the series, in December 1977, he did, and there were many others: boys who'd come to lunch and drink too much wine, and find it funny or even flattering to be asked to help Andy 'paint. ' Andy always had a little extra bounce in his walk as he led them to his studio. . .

From the projection booth, the sound would be raised for one film to elucidate that "story" while it was lowered for the other. The multiplication of images evoked Warhol's seminal silk-screen works of the early 1960s. The influence of the film's split-screen, multi-narrative style could be felt in such modern work as Mike Figgis' Timecode and, however indirectly, the early seasons of 24. Michael "Mike" Figgis (born February 28 1948) is an English Film director, Writer, and Composer.

Other media

As stated, although Andy Warhol is most known for his paintings and films, he has authored works in many different media.

• Drawing: Warhol started his career drawing commercial illustrations in "blotted-ink" style for warehouses and magazines. Drawing is a Visual art that makes use of any number of drawing instruments to mark a two-dimensional medium Most well known are his pictures of shoes. Some of his drawings were published in little booklets, like "Yum, Yum, Yum" (about food), "Ho, Ho, Ho" (about Christmas) and (of course) "Shoes, Shoes, Shoes. " His most artistically acclaimed book of drawings is probably "The Gold Book", compiled of sensitive, personal drawings of young men. "The Gold Book" is thus dubbed because of the gold leaf that decorates the pages. Metal leaf is a thin foil used for decoration It is also called composition leaf or schlagmetal.
• Sculpture: Warhol's most famous sculpture is probably his "Brillo Boxes", silkscreened bronze replicas of Brillo soap boxes. Brillo Pad is a Trade name for a scouring pad, used for Cleaning dishes, and made from Steel wool impregnated with Soap Other famous works include the "Silver Clouds"; helium filled, silver mylar, pillow-shaped balloons.

• Audio: At one point Warhol carried a portable recorder with him wherever he went, taping everything everybody said and did. He referred to this device as his "wife. " Some of these tapes were the basis for his literary work. Literature is the Art of written works Literally translated the word means "acquaintance with letters" (from Latin littera letter Another audio-work of Warhol's was his "Invisible Sculpture", a presentation in which burglar alarms would go off when entering the room. Warhol's cooperation with the musicians of The Velvet Underground was driven by an expressed desire to become a music producer.
• Time capsules: Throughout his life, Warhol saved many of his correspondences, articles about himself and those which fascinated him, and numerous other items (everything from food to gay porn). A time capsule is a historic cache of goods and/or information usually intended as a method of Communication with people in the future Several of these items were boxed up and, progressively, numbered. They eventually totaled in the dozens. Today the Warhol Museum houses them and is in the process of opening and sorting them. As of 2008 there remain boxes which, while cataloged, have not been re-opened since their original sealing. (see external links below for more info).
• Television: Andy Warhol dreamed of a television show that he wanted to call "The Nothing Special", a special about his favorite subject: Nothing. Television ( TV) is a widely used Telecommunication medium for sending ( Broadcasting) and receiving moving Images, either monochromatic Later in his career he did create two cable television shows, "Andy Warhol's TV" in 1982 and "Andy Warhol's Fifteen Minutes" (based on his famous "fifteen minutes of fame" quotation) for MTV in 1986. Besides his own shows he regularly made guest appearances on other programs, including "The Love Boat" wherein a Midwestern wife (Marion Ross) fears Andy Warhol will reveal to her husband (Tom Bosley, who starred alongside Ross in sitcom Happy Days) her secret past as a Warhol superstar named Marina del Rey. The Love Boat (simply Love Boat in its final season is an American Television series set on a Cruise ship, which Marion Ross (born October 25, 1928) is a Golden Globe -nominated American Actress, best known for her role as Marion Cunningham Thomas Edward Bosley (born October 1, 1927) is an American Actor, best known on-stage for his work in Fiorello!, and Happy Days is an American Television sitcom that originally aired from 1974 to 1984 on ABC. Warhol also produced a TV commercial for Schrafft's Restaurants in New York City, for an ice cream dessert appropriately titled the "Underground Sundae"
• Fashion: Warhol is quoted for having said: "I'd rather buy a dress and put it up on the wall, than put a painting, wouldn't you?" One of his most well-known Superstars, Edie Sedgwick, aspired to be a fashion designer, and his good friend Halston was a famous one. Schrafft's was a candy and chocolate company based in Sullivan Square, Charlestown Massachusetts.

This article is about Performance art For other uses see Performance (disambiguation The Exploding Plastic Inevitable is the culmination of this area of his work. The Exploding Plastic Inevitable, sometimes simply called Plastic Inevitable or EPI, was a series of Multimedia events
• Photography: To produce his silkscreens, Warhol made photographs or had them made by his friends and assistants. Photography (fә'tɒgrәfi or fә'tɑːgrәfi (from Greek φωτο and γραφία is the process and Art of recording pictures by means of capturing These pictures were mostly taken with a specific model of Polaroid camera that Polaroid kept in production especially for Warhol. Polaroid Corporation was founded in 1937 by Edwin H Land. It is most famous for its Instant film Cameras which reached the market in 1948 and This photographic approach to painting and his snapshot method of taking pictures has had a great effect on artistic photography. Warhol was an accomplished photographer, and took an enormous amount of photographs of Factory visitors, friends - given the importance of this medium to both his paintings and to film, one might say that an interest in photography lies at the center of his artistic practice.
• Computer: Warhol used Amiga computers to generate digital art. A computer is a Machine that manipulates data according to a list of instructions. The Amiga is a family of Personal computers originally developed by Amiga Corporation.

Producer and product

In many ways Warhol refined and expanded the idea of what it means to be an artist. Warhol frequently took on the position of a producer, rather than a creator - this is true not only of his work as a painter (he had assistants do much of the work of producing his paintings), it is true of his film-making and commercial enterprises as well. He liked to coin an idea and then oversee or delegate its execution. As he refined this element of his work The Factory evolved from an atelier into an office. The Factory was Andy Warhol 's original New York City studio from 1962 to 1968, although his later studios were known as The Factory as well He became (and still is) the public face of a company, and a brand.

He founded the gossip magazine Interview, a stage for celebrities he "endorsed" and a business staffed by his friends. Interview is a Magazine founded by artist Andy Warhol and John Wilcock in 1969 He collaborated with others on all of his books (some of which were written with Pat Hackett. ) He adopted the young painter Jean-Michel Basquiat, and the band The Velvet Underground, presenting them to the public as his latest interest, and collaborating with them. Jean-Michel Basquiat ( December 22 1960 - August 12, 1988) was an American Artist. This article is about the band For their self-titled album see The Velvet Underground (album; for the book see The Velvet Underground (book One might even say that he produced people (as in the Warholian "Superstar" and the Warholian portrait). He endorsed products, appeared in commercials, and made frequent celebrity guest appearances on television shows and in films (he appeared in everything from Love Boat to Saturday Night Live and the Richard Pryor movie, Dynamite Chicken). The Love Boat (simply Love Boat in its final season is an American Television series set on a Cruise ship, which Saturday Night Live ( SNL) is a weekly late-night 90-minute American Sketch comedy / Variety show based in New York City Richard Franklin Lennox Thomas Pryor III ( December 1, 1940 &ndash December 10, 2005) was an American Comedian, Actor

In this respect Warhol was a fan of "Art Business" and "Business Art" - he, in fact, wrote about his interest in thinking about art as business in The Philosophy of Andy Warhol from A to B and Back Again. This was a radical new stance, as artists traditionally positioned themselves against commercialism. Warhol and other pop-artists helped redefine the artist's position as professional, commercial, and popular. He did this using methods, imagery and talents that were (or at least seemed to be) available to everyone. In this respect Pop Art has contributed to a philosophical and practical incorporation of art into popular culture and society, and art offered to us as a product of that society.
