 Hartford Advocate: Star Power
The 1998 Woody Allen film Celebrity opens with a shot of the word "HELP" hanging in the air over Manhattan, skywritten by an airplane.
Warhol understood that for the true celebrity, there was no distinction between life and art.

 Books about Andy Warhol and the Factory from The Bomp Bookshelf
"Andy Warhol has been called the pope of twentieth-century pop culture-a one-man show who dazzled with his innovative influence not only on modern art, but also on film, music, fashion, and even the idea of celebrity.
Bourdon argues a convincing case for Warhol's importance as an artist and how more than several of the artist's concepts (I hesitate to call them theories) on the nature of celebrity and the business of art have entered the public conscience.
But Warhol's judolike feints, in which questioners, tipped over by the weight of their preconceptions, are left clutching at thin air, are less about concealing anything than they are about adding intrigue and tension‹entertainment value, if you will‹to an inherently absurd and artificial situation.

 Bad Subjects: Jeff Koons And The Paradox Of A Superstar's Phenomenon
Warhol was both the prince of commercial art and uptown celebrity as well as the "bete noire" who cultivated the downtown underground drug/sex scene.
It may be useful to see Koons' transgression of Warhol as comparable, in many respects, to that of Warhol and his "superstars." At the Factory, the superstars parodied Hollywood, with their own brand of divas, queens and sex symbols who performed in Warhol's underground films.
Unlike Warhol, the ailing asexual albino, the superstars were able to be created, transformed by Warhol into reified superstars.

 Carnegie Online
Over the years, The Warhol has presented everything from drag cabaret act Kiki and Herb (left), to avant garde dance, cutting-edge music, and hands-on, art-making workshops that invite visitors to use Warhol’s silkscreening technique to create their own celebrity portraits.
That exhibition was the first large Warhol retrospective shown in Japan, and the sketchbooks’ presence in the show demonstrates how The Andy Warhol Museum—because of its extensive collection—is able to deepen perceptions of Warhol outside the U.S., as well as within.
It’s safe to say, for example, that were it not for The Warhol, Japanese visitors to the 1996 traveling show Andy Warhol 1956-1986: Mirror of His Time would never have seen the little-known sketchbooks that Warhol drew in during his eye-opening 1956 trip to Japan.
