I don’t know what you think of Warhol, in fact, I’m not sure what I think of Andy. Everybody knows his name, and outside of Dali’, no artist has been better at marketing art.
Coming from the world advertising, I ask when does self -promoting hurt your art? I don’t know the answer.
I talked to a gallery owner in New York, and he felt Warhol would come to “a door if it was opening”.
What does 15 minutes of fame really mean? It was interesting to find the saying has a Wikipedia page – here

Then there are the movies – how many actors have portrayed Warhol? Actually seven to eight depending on where you look. Here are my favorite movies.
Another personal favorite – David Bowie – in Basquiat
Guy Pierce in Factory Girl
Crispen Porter in The Doors
