Thanks for uploading. The way Collings deconstructs the programme while actually making it was terrific. Him and Andrew Graham-Dixon have always made the most innovative and well informed art series.

"Vindaloo" says Hirst.

Priceless.

[CitizenDrummer]

@Ozzrya91 Yeah, I think that's kinda the point he was making.

[abstractbard]

"Pardon my French, ha ha" :D

[chandru1103]

@Ozzrya91 A very important and highly influential joke.....(sound like an oxymoron?)

[Clinquance]

[AtomicUprising]

nihilism 

[chandru1103]

@AtomicUprising =postmodernism.

[paolo4559]

Das ist ja modern Art !!!

[chandru1103]

how great is that dot painting behind him?..looks like $1,000,000 to me.

[B0vril]

eh, I just don't see how paint splattered on a wall means anything. I mean I look at some of that art and the only thing that comes to my mind is... Why would anyone buy this.

Genius? maybe, in there ability to sell a meaningless mess...

I mean if I painted pink dogs on red background and passed it off as a Warhol people would love it.

[chandru1103]

but you werent a revolutionary, Warhol WAS.

[B0vril]

I don't think he was revolutionary...

People just wanted someone to be revolutionary and they got careless and thought they saw something in his art.

Something which isn't really there.

[chandru1103]

What you think doesn't matter. Not that it isn't a valid opinion, but what the art world and art experts see as genius, IS genius. You gotta look at art with more accepting cynicism. Art is what it is either live with it or defy it like Andy did.

[B0vril]

I see what you're saying.

The uncensored artificial world is far from the art that we wish to create. Like in an infinite paradox or an endless morally ambiguous universe that flushes in on itself only to appear the exact same. We hide what we can't do or understand with what we can only...

Limiting ourselves with fractions we miss the whole story.

[Daniel4510]

not gonna lie it just seems like a bunch of people on drugs that make the art and all it does for me is bring me to think as they see the world. I dunno if that is good or bad

[yocanbanconit]

I agree with the comment below, but that's not why so few people on Youtube have watched this. This documentary has meaning; it's not superficial entertainment; it's entertainment for those who want to understand the world, not just observe or participate in it. The fact that so few people care about what modern art is, or even if it is art, backs up Warhol's idea that modern popular culture, freed of the vagaries of poverty and oppression, remains superficial in its interests.

[shaymultimedia]

Warhol's films were a waste of celluloid. The emperor has no clothes.

[monkmellon]

Yeah, did you not hear his own comment about his films? "give me the three dollars and let me kick you in the ass instead of going to watch it."

[wonderlandangel18]

true :)
