The Chaotic But True Life Of Andy Warhol
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2024
- Anyone who's ever wanted their "15 minutes of fame" has Andy Warhol to thank. Commonly associated with Campbell's Soup cans, pale wigs, and an assortment of strange artists and celebrities working together in a place known as the Factory, Warhol became one of the most famous American artists in history. The Andy Warhol life story is colorful, filled with the drugs, adult pleasure, and creativity that infected the New York art scene of the era. Although many wild tales exist about the Factory and his relationships with celebrities from the 1960s to the 1980s, true stories about Andy Warhol reveal a man who wasn't always in tune with his image.

Former Warhol museum employee here! Fun fact: the work that most visitors try to touch is the pee painting
I understand why the juicy gossip heard on Andy Warhol's cassettes would be troubling for everyone to hear while those speaking on the tapes are still alive ( and those 3rd party people mentioned are still alive ) . However , WHY WAIT till 2037 for the contents of the recordings to be made public when the people listed in this video are now already dead ( some aren't even famous IF they're still alive ) ? Why not release the audio of the tapes 1 at a time after each person on the tape has died ? ♑️✍️🇳🇴🇦🇺
@@Friendship1nmillion their families can still sue...
Someone pin this comment
That Warhol museum was my church in high school. People were always being scolded for smacking the "Silver Clouds" around a little too aggressively.
@@Friendship1nmillion There might be a legal reason. It probably covers the tapes as a whole as well, so releasing the tapes one by one isn't possible. I'm not a lawyer, so I can't tell you how it works legally, but this isn't the first time I've heard of a collection that couldn't be released until a certain year.
I love this narrator!
“Daayyyyyuuummm, Truman!”
This is why I LOVE this channel.
I loved Andy Warhol! I would've liked to see a little bit in this video about the artists Warhol pretty much discovered, like Basquiat, though. Even if some people didn't understand or like Andy's work, he was still incredibly adept at finding others whose artwork might have remained completely unknown if it hadn't been for Andy's intuitive sense of what was really unique and different and that would speak to others. ❤
I was hoping to see Edie Sedwick mentioned... "Ciao baby"
The Rolling Stones logo is one of the coolest things he did
Warhol didn’t create the Stones’s lips logo…. He created the sticky fingers album cover.
A+ video!
LOVE IT! What a fascinating and unqiue history, did not know almost all those things about him!
Mind=Blown
Fun Fact: David Bowie borrowed one of Andy Warhol's wigs from The Andy Warhol Museum to portray him in the movie Basquiat (1996).
Interesting movie. Julian Schnabel, also a painter, made his directorial debut with that film. He knew both Basquiat and Warhol. The cast is insane - I bet he just asked a bunch of his friends to play parts, and there's everybody from David Bowie to Gary Oldman's mom, passing through Willem Dafoe, Christopher Walken and Courtney Love.
I never saw that movie. I will have to check it out.
@@TheOfficialTarynTotsYou should! It won’t blow your mind or anything, but it’s solid and deals with a lot of interesting themes. Also, Bowie as Warhol is one of the greatest things ever committed to film.
Bowie also wrote a song about Warhol, creatively entitled: Andy Warhol. He played it to Warhol in the Factory. When it finished, Andy looked down at Bowie's feet and his only reaction to the song, said "I like your shoes".
Cool! I didn’t know Warhol designed the Sticky Fingers album cover! I remember being maybe 5 yrs old, going with my crazy Aunt Susie to Camelot Music and flipping thru the LP’s and coming across that one. She literally grabbed me as i had the zipper halfway down… 😆
Love Warhol! I live in Pittsburgh and go to his museum frequently. Seems most people either love his work or hate it, not much middle ground.
For the love of god please don’t reproduce 😂
Art is subjective though. Either way the man created a legacy that will be remembered forever. I bet that museum is something special would def love to visit.
Fellow Pittsburgher here! Andy Warhol is buried in a Castle Shannon cemetery that has 24/7/365 video cameras on it
His collab works with Basquiat are (imo) some of his best
Definitely never was my style, but you gave a good report. Thanks.
FYI you mean definite (def in it) not defiant (which means disobedient)
@@candice_ecidnac oops, you are correct. Thanks for catching that typo. I honestly cannot control my fingers and auto help (or whatever it is called) gets in the way as well.
11:19 The Lou Reed song "Perfect Day," sang by a collection of popular artists (including Elton John), was the #1 hit in the UK on my 18th birthday.
That dudes straight gangsta, gets shot and survives
I like his discipline. His actions spoke louder than words. He worked very hard to survive. I like stories like his. You get out of life what you put in. I admire that about him. He was always working.
The music at 0:38 triggers me because I miss the Timeline series so bad!!!
Wish we could get a 1960s one!
I miss it too
Yeah it was definitely their best work
BRING IT BAAAAAAAACCKKKKKK
I'd like you to cover Georgia O'Keefe.
Thanks for this! 🧑🎨
I remember Bill Hader playing Warhol in Men in Black and, to be honest, it seemed the most plausible part of the movie 🤣
Came here for that reference!
Crispin Glover played Warhol in "The Doors." He was terrible. David Bowie played Warhol as David Bowie in "Basquiat" and was more convincing.
"I will slap the Shiznit outta Andy Warhol!"

Kinda surprised video wasn't longer for Warhols wild life.
Love Warhol. He helped a lot in high school.
2:44 The film Cabaret (1972) with Liza Minnelli is fantastic!
This is only eleven minutes and fourty-two seconds long.
Should have been 15 minutes.
Their one and only mistake
He got more than he was worth.
Truly a missed opporunity...
they missed that opportunity... why.... TTwTT
Very interesting, I never took the time to learn about him.
0:36 Reminds me of the music video "Pop Goes The World" by Men Without Hats.
That is one of my favorite music videos of all time!
Debra Harry also did that cool video "Sweet and Low" that paid tribute with the video outlined images of her throughout and "Thanks Andy" at the very end!
Great video!
Ahaha-almost as many tapes as Richard Nixon 😆
I love Weird History so much!
Wow-Warhol thought someone else’s material was “too obscene”?!
Just wow.
Wow. He was disturbed.
I ❤️ YOU TOM.
7:23 That is just like the peeing statue in the film The Money Pit (1986), watched that again last night!
They really need to make a film series of that, it's so brilliant!
More timeline videos please thanks
I like some of his art, but I think the culture he created around him is what was more fascinating. Andy's Chest off the Lou Reed album "Transformer" is about when he was shot.
Please please PLEASE do a video on Artemisia Ggentileschi, I almost never ever see her talked about or most other female artists especially classical ones because their works were often purposefully suppressed no matter how talented they were, and Artemisia painted some really interesting pieces depicting women in ways male classical artists usually avoided
I don’t know if he’s my favorite artist, but he’s done one of my favorite “art” pieces ever when he hand painted the BMW M1 ProCar. For my particular tastes, it’s a great combination of my love for automobiles, racing, and art. I know a lot of people either love him or hate him, but I personally like his art and photography a lot.
Walk on the wild side by Lou Reed, song about Warhol's stars-Holly Woodlawn, Candy Darling, Jackie Curtis, Joe Dallesandro. Famous drag queens in his movies, funny to hear the girls talk about wanting to get on welfare, drinking beer. The most famous was Edie Sedgwick, very rich, beautiful, carried her syringes (heroin) in her handbag, with pills thrown in just in case 😂. Paul Morrissey was his film/art partner. Famous for fifteen minutes was one of Warhol's famous quotes. Loved the video, thank you. Huh, alright ❤
Lots of artists hate Warhol and with a good amount of them, it's because they didn't think of his ideas first...
My favorite Andy Warhol moment was when he accidentally wondered onto an interview segment of a televised then-WWF/now-WWE show. He was a pro wrestling fan (which really makes more and more sense the more you think about it) and got backstage access, then walked through the wrong door and suddenly "Mean" Gene Oakerlund was giving him an on-the-fly interview live on air. Classic!
Also the Hells Angels were scared of him and his compound in the Hamptons manned by dudes with machine guns… mick jagger had to hide out at Warhols so Hells Angels couldn’t kill him…
My Dad had that album w/the zipper!
Thank you for mentioning his Catholicism.
Love Andy! I love his brother Paul Warhola also; he did putting chickens feet into paint and let them run amuck on canvas. I am a Pittsburgher so I get to visit his grave and museum
9:56 I will have to check out the album Sticky Fingers.
The Rolling Stones is one of my newest favorite bands but I have yet to listen to all their music.
Warhol's famous Campbell soup can paintings were first exhibited in Los Angeles in 1962. The critics ignored the show and the art world laughed at it. None of the paintings sold. The gallerist Irving Blum gave Andy 1,000 dollars for the 32 paintings. They are now in the Museum of Modern Art in New York and are probably worth 200 million dollars.
I have the Sticky Fingers album with the working zipper. When you look inside, you can see the man's bare legs and undies. He's wearing tidy whities. Lol
History is weird 😂
1:49 I don't know if I would consider those time capsules to be art...but it's a really great idea!
Have you done an episode on Edgar Cayce
Id like to see something about Edie Sedgewick.
That one art gallery:
“I ate asparagus!”
Funnier than even you can know, like you've been there...
So you're telling me keeping my best friend's fingernails behind my winter hat's rim isn't original? 😁
The background song at 1:00 is the same and from Tosh.0’s “Is It Racist” lol
The story of Warhol's collaboration with The Rolling Stones for the 'Sticky Fingers' album cover is a brilliant example of his creative audacity.
💛💛💛
0:15 The banana reminds me of Alpha Pie Epsilon (APE), the fraternity I was in when a student at Doane University.
Other than Alpha Pie Epsilon and Doane Players, I was in Collegiate Chorale (Choir Group) and Psych/Soc Club (Club for Psychology and Sociology majors).
0:16 That banana artwork would be perfect for Alpha Pie Epsilon (APE)!
Extra points for using “comprise” right
I wasn't sure of his art before my ex took an Art History class and I learned how much artists "borrow" ideas from others to create "new" art. Then I figured out what a genius he was. 😂
"A good artist borrows. A great artist steals."
Yes he was a genius for making people think his garbage was art 😂
6:11 Truman is the name of the Tiger mascot at the University of Missouri.
WE LOVE YOU
I am going to watch the video:
x ---TIMELINE 1992---
Having ANOTHER Weird History drink!
Drinking Orange Spice Tea (STASH)*†...while watching this Weird History video!
* Inspired from the Weird History videos about the Royal Family.
† I added crushed ice to this hot tea to cool it down.
Man I can't wait for 2037
6:51 That is a smart trade!
No mention of Edie Sedgwick?
bowie played him good
Jean-Michel Basquiat, please!
Without a doubt, some of those tape recordings will change history as we know it.
HEY WEIRD HISTORY !! WHAT ABOUT ANOTHER TIMELINE HISTORY SERIES ??!
Yep.. Definitely qualifies as weird.
Overrated or not, Warhol was legendary
I only know him because of Men in Black 3 the movie
He also discovered actor Dolph Lundgren
🎉🎉🎉unique 🎉🎉🎉
Oh! Hilarious! I got to listen to those cassettes! I can't wait, so me and the boys will just do some merry burglary...
So crazy what some ppl consider art. Idk how a bunch of soup cans lined up makes someone think you’re a genius🤦🏾♂️
It's a helluva lot of silk screening, which is not an easy task.
Venturing into storytelling and creative video making recently. VideoGPT quietly became my secret weapon, imparting a sense of professionalism to my content effortlessly.
"Worhol carried a missile at all times..." Maniac!
can you do a video about Indonesia's kingdom that fools mongol under Kublai Khan?
What, no mention of AW being a MIB agent? Missed opportunity.
$50 in 1974 is $314.73 in 2024. That's pretty good for a modeling job.
I don’t get a lot of “art” so naturally I don’t get him at all and I don’t want too. Just my thoughts
💜 Self 🖼️😊
"15 minutes of fame!"
11:43 video.
It's pretty bad when Andy Warhol finds your work obscene.
No reference to Edie Sedgwick...

4:09 you know, I’ve always told myself I would never lay hand on a woman and then you hear about someone like this 😂
Now we know why Bucciarati's Sticky Fingers uses zippers as a weapon
RUclips is The Grown-up Version of the Campbell's Soup Can Especially when it comes to 15 Minutes of Fame

Awww, you didn't cover his untimely death! You barely brushed up against his long list of films. Trash and Andy Warhol's Bad are both quite the watch. ALSO: Lou Reed's song Walk on the Wild Side was about several of the fabulous superstars of Warhol's Factory. Musical artist Beck's mom Bibbe Hansen was a Warhol protégé. There. Have some more lore!
A bit Like Chauncey Gardner.
Great videos
"Chaotic" the Asperger's euphamism
The Velvet Underground is mentioned in the Stevie Nicks song, "Gypsy".
Capote has no room to talk.
If I had met Warhol at my age now, i wouldn't have been impressed. If I had met him in my young party days, I'd probably be right into him.
Warhol's fame is a testament to our inability to give honest opinions out of fear of being seen as uncool.
Obviously you were not alive during that time. He was mostly criticized and treated as low brow art. He did something unconventional and it inspired an entire generation of younger crowd that knowingly or not went on to use his ideas. He was never respected when he was alive. You are just trying to sound edgy online thinking you know what is art or not 🤡
His movies were totally shite.
Well put! Thats it exactly!
@@YPYT90 What time? I was born in the mid 1950s, but I've also been around in the last 40 years, during which time he has been an absolute icon. Maybe I know what good art is, maybe I don't. But the point isn't whether Warhol was good. I had a couple of his prints back in the day. The point is that people who want to appear cool - or edgy - will praise things they don't really like or understand. Worse, some will use their imagined insight to mock or insult those who are just being honest.
more people said they didnt like warhol, than liked him.. but liking or not liking someone isnt why warhol was well known.. it was just that he was made known to the average joe
Soup cans? I'd have gone with the Marilyn Monroe palette...
