Reel Thursday: Andy Warhol (1987)

Campbell Soup Cans, Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol’s blond wig and eccentric lifestyle were his trademarks. Designer, artist, filmmaker, music producer and publisher – to some he was a genius, to others a shallow epigone. This Kim Evans film portrays the controversial phenomenon and human ‘total artwork’ that was Warhol.

 

Reel Thursdays is a series of eight feature documentaries organised in conjunction with the current exhibition: “Handmade Readymades: Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg & James Rosensquist“.
