Andy Warhol was NOT a hack. He was an artist, my favorite, and a very creative one at that. His work was interesting because he took ordinary items, people and made them much more interesting than they are/were. He did NOT however make people pay a lot of money for it. Yes, he did portraits of famous people privately but all those rich assholes really have more than enough to spend on a picture of their face to hang in their living room, right? As you know, most artist gain more respect after they're dead, he had his moments but he wasn't a millionaire. His work like many other artist's in the 60's was abstract, therefore it wasn’t like he just pulled this out of his ass. it was popular at the time. He created "POPism" which changed the way people felt about art. And used mediums (silkscreen in particular) that were very complicated and not used during that time period. He DID NOT have AIDS although he was on the DL about being gay. He did not die of AIDS. First off, someone attempted to assassinate him and failed, but the real reason he died was from a gallbladder operation gone badly. That has nothing to do with having aids. When I think of Andy Warhol I do not think of punk rock. I think of some crazy gay guy who was quite talented. All he did was produce the Velvet Underground cd, and did some art for it. Its not like he went on tour with them. Yes, his corpse is rotting; it’s rotting in Pittsburg, PA where he was born. And if you were wondering what his epitaph really says: "ANDY WARHOL AUGUST 6, 1920 FEBRUARY 22, 1987" that’s all. I have a picture to prove it.

"ANDY WARHOL
AUGUST 6, 1920
FEBRUARY 22, 1987" that’s all. I have a picture to prove it.
