Warhol is god.

Thanks for doing these great videos. Seeing the work as objects in space and at angles is truly informing. Only wish you did more close ups too like on the piss paintings final Last Supper. From what I've read he used a bad reproduction found on a post card for the Last Suppers.

Used to see Andy often when I lived in NYC by Union Square in the 70's & 80's .

Thank you, again. My impression is that he often did the most amazing, insightful justapositioning of ideas and/or media. His fame, however, allowed him to sometimes show pieces that were too self-accepting.

I never saw the Shadow Paintings vis a vis. I love how you captured the texture in them which, from photos, one doesn't see. You did the same with Trudy Benson's work, which photos do not capture. You inspire me to search the net for more information and I found this great page, containing Ronnie Cutrone's account of his work on the Shadow Paintings. Google: Warhol Shadow Paintings. See Cutrone's account of his dialogue with Andy which initiated the work.

As far as the Last Supper series goes, I am sure it also has to do with Warhol being a fervent Catholic. It would be interesting to study the importance of religion in his art...

I've had the catalogue for some months and I am glad you covered the show. It gives another perspective to it. Late Warhols show how important it was to Andy to be considered first and foremost a painter. This show proves how incredibly creative a painter he was (the gallery at2.32). Thanks James

@wizzlewolf

i'm sure he was very kind, etc. but the artist as a person, is the least important thing about the art. the art is the real person, the artist is just the messenger.

Thanks Kate, James and Andy ;]

thx james, great art there

[wizzlewolf]

HA! I met Andy once. I was walking across the intersection on a crosswalk in Manhattan circa 1980. He had his entourage with him. Midway across the street, I looked up and it was him. For the first time in my life, I was star struck. I couldn't say anything. I just stood there, frozen, mouth agog. He was so sweet. He knew. He stopped and stroked my arm and asked me how my day was going. I still couldn't speak. I just nodded and walked on. It took me lots of time to digest the experience. LOL

@wizzlewolf This is a fabulous and touching souvenir of Andy. You related it so well, with the subtlety with which you experienced it. I will remember it. How warm. How beautiful.

Brilliant show, superbly captured

[candeaguilar]

the last supper, is that the silk screen process?

Thanks

[jameskalm]

@candeaguilar if you talking about the one in the last gallery with the yellow ground then yeah, it's a huge screen print, though he did do freehand versions and used projected details of the original image which was a tourist postcard he picked up. There are over a hundred different versions.

Andy Warhol wotta pumpkin there's an Artist who really did take the piss, I liked the band at the beginning

[mrbaxtercat]

I was eagerly waiting for your next installment and it was worth waiting for..what a lot of great work in one decade...great colors and knowledge and skill of appropriated images...supposedly the liquid of choice that fueled the piss paintings was Corona...
