Beschreibung | Andy Warhol (/ˈwɔːrhɒl/; geboren als Andrew Warhola Jr.; 6. August 1928 - 22. Februar 1987) war ein US-amerikanischer bildender Künstler, Filmregisseur und -produzent, der zu den führenden Vertretern der als Pop Art bezeichneten visuellen Kunstbewegung gehörte. Seine Werke erforschen die Beziehung zwischen künstlerischem Ausdruck, Werbung und Promi-Kultur, die in den 1960er Jahren aufblühte, und umfassen eine Vielzahl von Medien, darunter Malerei, Siebdruck, Fotografie, Film und Skulptur. Zu seinen bekanntesten Werken zählen die Siebdrucke Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) und Marilyn Diptych (1962), die Experimentalfilme Empire (1964) und Chelsea Girls (1966) sowie die als Exploding Plastic Inevitable (1966-67) bekannten Multimedia-Events. |
I have Social Disease. I have to go out every night. If I stay home one night I start spreading rumors to my dogs.
Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.
I used to think that everything was just being funny but now I don't know. I mean, how can you tell?
I'd asked around 10 or 15 people for suggestions. Finally one lady friend asked the right question, 'Well, what do you love most?' That's how I started painting money.
Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?
What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest.
They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.
In the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.
Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.
I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.
Land really is the best art.
Employees make the best dates. You don't have to pick them up and they're always tax-deductible.
Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.
It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor's finger.
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own.
People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly.
I had a lot of dates but I decided to stay home and dye my eyebrows.
I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is 'In 15 minutes everybody will be famous.'
My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person.
I'm the type who'd be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn't going to. I'm the type who'd like to sit home and watch every party that I'm invited to on a monitor in my bedroom.
