	Andy Warhol 1928-1962
		Warhol gave various dates for his birth, but the correct one is August 6, 1928, based on a birth certificate that was filed late in order to qualify him for college and his certificate of baptism.
		Warhol originally intended to study art education at the University of Pittsburgh in order to become an art teacher, but he changed his mind and applied to the Carnegie Institute to study pictorial design with the intention of becoming a commercial illustrator.
		Warhol had met the surrealist poet CHARLES HENRI FORD at a party given by Ford's sister, RUTH FORD (an actress who was married to ZACHERY SCOTT), at Ruth's apartment in the Dakota on Central Park West and 72nd Street.

	Andy Warhol \| Special reports \| Guardian Unlimited
		The repeated images of Warhol's silkscreen paintings imitate the multiplication of representation in the age of mass media, new in the early 1960s; his portraits of Elvis and Brando, for example, are confessions of the desire the artist feels for pop icons whose image is everywhere.
		After Warhol was shot by Valerie Solanas, he ruefully admitted that he himself had once been an obsessive fan, stalking Capote, striking up a telephone relationship with the writer and insinuating himself into his house, until Capote's mother told him to leave her son alone.
		Warhol worried that he was unlovable, and feared expressing love, but his professions of coldness were as implausible of those of any sentimentalist posing as tough.

	Warhol Superstar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Warhol's philosophies of art and celebrity met in a way that replicated the film studios at their most powerful.
		Warhol's 'Factory’ played host to most of his Superstars and as his experiments in film continued he became more interested in the bohemian eccentrics attracted to the studio.
		Some of the most important superstars to emerge from the period of the first Factory, known as the 'Silver Factory' because it was painted entirely in silver, include Paul America, Ondine, Taylor Mead, Mary Woronov, Eric Emerson, Gerard Malanga, Billy Name and Brigid Berlin.

	Sample Research Paper 1
		Warhol did volunteer to feed the homeless at churches for a number of years, but his motives are unclear at best.
		There were many instances where Warhol asked people to stop at a church so he could say a quick prayer, and he certainly made sure to visit famous religious sites when he traveled, but many believe that it was part of his act--part of the plastic persona that Warhol offered to the world.
		Warhol didn't think it was necessary for a person to sit for hours to have their portrait painted; he didn't even have to meet them in person.

		As with Warhol's subjects, although each was once a living being with passion and personality, no powerful emotions or appetites are documented in their portraits.
		Sokolowski thinks Warhol understood that both our society and the Chinese were consumer cultures interested in what we own, what we sell, and what we value from a financial point of view.
		The Andy Warhol Museum receives state arts funding support through a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

	Eye of the Art - Andy Warhol: The Pope of Pop
		Warhol erased the lines between Fine and Commercial Art and forced the world to consider a new perspective that it, subconsciously, had already embraced.
		In 1968, Warhol was shot two to three times by a fanatical woman, Valerie Solanis, who claimed at her arrest that “He had too much control over my Life.” The truth of the matter was that he had ignored her and her radical organization, SCUM (Society for Cutting Up Men).
		On Febuary 22,1987, Warhol succumbed to heart failure, and as a consequence of a badly executed gall bladder operation.

		Warhol, his entourage of Superstars and his silver-painted studio -- known as the Factory -- became world-famous.

	Hartford Advocate: Star Power (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Warhol, who grew up as a frail child in a room surrounded by movie posters and who then created himself as the center of his own private movie studio, was simply doing in public something that all of us are doing secretly, one way or another.
		Warhol was even known to work at a soup kitchen at the Church of the Heavenly Rest.
		His mother was very pious, and several years after Warhol came to New York in 1945 to study art, his mother moved to New York and lived with him for the rest of her life.

	COSMIC BASEBALL ASSOCIATION Personal Cosmic Game Report
		Warhol's succession of so-called "superstars" was an ironic mimicry of the exploitative and disposable nature of the American culture.
		Warhol appeared to have intuitively understood what the German philosopher Hegel discovered a century earlier: that man's basic desire is the quest for recognition.
		Warhol describes her as "popular with the press because she had a freak name, purple hair, and incredibly long tongue, and a mini-rap about the intellectual meaning of the underground movies." She appears in **** ("High Ashbury" section, 1966) and I, A Man (1967).

	Superstar (celebrity) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Superstar is a term used to refer to a celebrity who has great popular appeal and is widely-known, prominent or successful in some field.
		According to Roger Callois, superstars are created by the interplay between “mass media, free enterprise, and competition.” Superstars are produced by a mixture of effort by the actors or atheletes and chance (the luck of winning, due to the many arbitrary factors influencing sports, film releases, etc.).
		Superstar museums are able to use the popular appeal of their location and art holdings to produce their own books, videos, and television specials, which adds an additional revenue stream and further reinforces the public’s awareness of the museum.

	Wired News: The History of Celebrity
		Warhol, on the other hand, was mesmerized by the camera from childhood.
		Warhol's persistent, if unprobing, fascination with the famous (the artist as groupie), his relentless self-promotion, and deliberately superficial comments on art and life made him an irritating subject to critique.
		Without Warhol's Campbell's soup cans, oversized mass-produced portraits, car crash films, and, yes, his hollow Polaroids, the art of sixties would be oddly bereft, for he not only focused on commercialism of the time but embodied it in all its faux glamour and boredom.

		An exotic clique, their job was to star in the films of Andy Warhol, to accompany him and adorn his arm in the avant-garde social circles he traveled in and to help him exude an aura of, well, fabulousness.
		Warhol eventually cast Curtis in his films "Flesh" and "Women in Revolt," and Curtis continued writing shows, such as "Heaven Grand in Amber Orbit," "Vain Victory: the Vicissitudes of the Damned" and 1972's "Americka Cleopatra," in which he cast Harvey Fierstein to play his mother.

		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 tensionentertainment value, if you willto an inherently absurd and artificial situation.
		Try as his he might here, his weakly supported insinuations of Warhol as a cold and manipulative character are more a reflection on the authors own feelings of insecurity, rather than their being any intrinsic truth in the matter.
		Trying to account for Warhol's attractiveness and the fact that he remained famous for 25 years, not just 15 minutes, she cites his enigmatic quality, his insistence on taking the mystery out of art, and his treatment of everyone with the same compelling immediacy.

		THE SHOOTING of pop artist Andy Warhol by the unhinged feminist-separatist Valerie Solanas is, weirdly, given cinematic endorsement in director/writer Mary Harron's I Shot Andy Warhol.
		Solanas finished her life homeless in San Francisco, dying early of pneumonia; Warhol, shaken by the assault, went on to find himself a better class of parasites to hang around with.
		Warhol is a lonely child at his own birthday party, while Solanas radiates a different feeling of neglect--it's a party, and you weren't invited.

		Brigid was one of the true "Superstars," and she was closest to Andy for the longest period of time.
		The "Superstars" actors and actresses went on to self-destruct or whatever, but of all the things Brigid did in her life, she was a survivor.

		Onscreen are the friends and hangers-on Warhol dubbed "superstars": Ondine, Nico, International Velvet, Gerard Malanga, Ingrid Superstar, Eric Emerson, Mary Woronov (Hanoi Hannah) and others.
		Warhol's method was to turn the camera on and let it run until a reel was spent.
		Projecting two reels side by side was the nearest thing to editing that Warhol did in the films he shot himself.

	B12 Partners Solipsism: Andy Warhol Exhibit
		Andy Warhol was one of the first American artists to investigate this cultural obsession, in a body of silkscreen paintings created in the mid-1960s that drew their source materials from the magazines, films, and newspapers of American postwar consumer culture.
		Focusing exclusively on the period between 1962 and 1964, the exhibition takes as its starting point the moment in Warhol's career when he shifted his practice from the handpainted to the mechanical reproduction of the photo silkscreen process.
		The exhibition is accompanied by Warhol’s “Screen Tests,” source materials, films of Warhol's “superstars,” the film “Elvis at Ferus,” documenting his show at the Ferus Gallery, and a fully illustrated catalogue.

		Like many of Warhol and Morrissey's film projects, (Flesh, Heat), Trash is concerned with the gross underpinnings of beauty and glamour.
		Warhol's superstars were the attention-starved five-and-dime divas of Manhattan's underground who would submit to any indignity for that fleeting 15 minutes of limelight.
		Spawned by Warhol's culture-crashing Factory, Morrissey's films were a pop art-fueled attempt to derail consumer culture and cornball hippiedom alike.

		In Popism, Warhol, via Pat Hackett, said that the reason that he made Sleep was because he thought sleeping was becoming obsolete as everybody was up all the time because of the amphetamine ("speed") they were taking.
		Giorno's comments about Warhol's reputation as a shoe fetishist were due, in part, to the work that Warhol did as a commercial illustrator prior to becoming a pop artist.

	Andy Warhol
		In 1963 Warhol established a work space in a vacant firehouse – a hook and ladder company – on East 87th Street, and later that same year moved his studio to 231 East 47th Street, the space which came to be known as the Factory.
		Warhol had become a regular at the Film-makers' Co-op and the individual Screen Tests – 4-minute close-up shots of motionless subjects facing a stationary camera – were shown there weekly under the title Andy Warhol Serial.
		Warhol had used the same type of camera for his 8-hour epic, Empire (his first “sound” movie without sound), but he employed it now for a number of “dramatic” collaborations with “scriptwriters” Chuck Wein and Ronald Tavel, the latter from the Theater of the Ridiculous.
