…and speaking of inspiration, Andy Warhol, who is responsible for the theory that “everyone is famous for at least fifteen minutes,” has far exceeded that. Even now, nearly 25 years after his death he is getting plenty of press. A 624 page, visual biography including 2,000 images, many rare or previously unpublished, is due to be published this summer. In september, PBS will air a documentary featuring Warhol and calling him “the most significant artist of the second half of the 20th century.” There is also the movie being released later this year, about Edie Sedgwick, who was known as Andy Warhol’s muse, starring Sienna Miller.
Andy Warhol is the father of “Pop Art,” in fact he coined the term as he removed the barrier between art and the masses, making him very Pop-ular! He was perhaps the first to identify the impact of celebrities and the media on our culture. Obviously, he has made a big impact around here (we wouldn’t have a job without him)! And we absolutely agree about the significance of his artwork. Those who knew him have said this ongoing, long-lasting, hype over his work and the fact that he is practically a household name, is exactly what Andy planned; which makes us think he would be tickled neon pink to see our work! If anybody believed that immitation is the highest form of flattery, it was Andy Warhol.
Actually, as you can see, there is not that much similarity between Andy’s artwork and ours, but it is certainly Warhol-inspired!
