"An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them."
No other artist is as much identified with Pop Art as Andy Warhol. The media called him the Prince of Pop. Warhol made his way from a Pittsburgh working class family to an American legend. He began as a commercial illustrator doing prints, editions, silkscreens, trial proofs and paintings. Warhol's activities became more and more entrepreneurial. He started the magazine Interview and even a night-club. In 1974 the Factory was moved to 860 Broadway. In 1975 Warhol published THE philosophy of Andy Warhol. In this book he describes what art is: "Making money is art, and working is art and good business is the best art." Andy Warhol died February 22, 1987 from complications after a gall bladder operation. More than 2000 people attended the memorial mass at St.Patrick's Cathedral

Dear Tervel,
this is a good report on the video but does not reflect a critical thinking response to the movie.
