Andy Warhol class questions?
What grade/level of school are you in? The reason that I ask is that some of Andy Warhol's trivia can be inappropriate for some middle school/high school crowds (according to teachers, not myself). My name is Randi Warhol, and I am a burlesque dancer. I could probably help you out. I'm famous for my Andy Warhol tattoos. An older friend (in age) used to hang out with Andy during his teenage years (his youth, not Andy's). My friend even let the woman that shot Andy use his shower, once. You can talk about his obsession with celebrities, his wigs, his dogs, his medium. Etc. He was very quotable, too. Even though he did soupcans in the 60's, maybe you could wear a black or red turtleneck and carry a tomato soup can in hand. Please either email me: randi@randiwarhol.com, or contact me via myspace: myspace.com/randipants. Or, just google "randi warhol" and see I'm for real. I would be willing to help you, since I am devoted to educating people on Warhol. I just want a little effort on your part, but you'll be left with wonderful information!

Was andy warhol gay?
Yes, Andy Warhol was homosexual, and in The Warhol Diaries writes openly about his relationships with several men. However, early in his career he occasionally implied to the press that he had girlfriends, including a (possibly fictitious) girl he called "Taxi" who allegedly went for long periods without bathing. Warhol was gay in an era when America was much less informed about homosexual culture, and gay men such as Liberace and Paul Lynde were generally accepted as simply being dandies. Gay themes in Warhol's work were often overlooked by a public oblivious to the symbolism of drag queens, cowboys and the other icons and clichés of gay culture that frequently appeared in his work. On the occasions Warhol was publicly pressed about his sexuality, he was often playfully evasive. He often claimed to have little libido, and those who knew him have said that being hugged or otherwise touched made him quite uncomfortable.
If I don't get what the big deal is with Andy Warhol, what would be the best questions I could ask on Quora to find out and why?
I agree with Justin Richards answer.At the end of the day when you take all of Warhols work and put it in a room it does ask the question: what is art? Not just because of the soup cans and Brilo boxes. There are pieces that he did of other things. I saw one that was a lifesized schematic showing the step by step process on how to do The Lindy Hop (a dance named after the aviator). There were silkscreens of camouflage but in vaious colors and metallics. Something you see in fashion today.We have to keep in mind that the question of “what is art?” is being asked by a guy who was a commercial artist that became obsessed with fame and later obsessed with being famous. A guy looking for his “15 minutes of fame”.He predicted that in the future everyone would have their own tv show.And here we are.I like to thing that anything that is designed can have an asthetic quality that can be considered provocative or pretty. Even things that one might consider mundane. I once had a funtioning walk dont walk sign from the 50s in my home. Some people would ask why do you have it. I looked at it as a piece of art.They didnt get it. LOL!
What was Andy Warhol like in person?
Was he a fake or genuine, the stated question followed him around. His artwork was considered a form of copy-ism and advantaging, to then an advertising of non art.picture from;;Warhol, Andy: Fine Arts, After 1945 in AmericaThe flatness of his work, was the unattractiveness of it, to then a reason would follow, as the advantaging of a non religious thinking that is a form of freedom.It could be a style of atheism, is that what art does, demand an artist to depict what is a human trait, other than a fad to game with.picture from;;;Andy Warhol | Moonwalk (1987) | ArtsyPop Artist. Provocateur. Catholic. Who was Andy Warhol?,,,,quoting,[Throughout the 50s and 60s, Warhol gained attention for his painting techniques, and later photography, film, installments and multi-media exhibitions. The late 1960s also brought Warhol close to death when he was shot near the entrance to his Factory workspace. After the shooting, Warhol continued to work prodigiously, co-founding Interview Magazine, designing record covers, producing television programs, and continuing to paint both commissioned works and his own artistic series.]His work in the presentation to a public, was that he made sure a public chose to want to see and hear, as applying the articulate of not trying to have fame. The sense of what he was doing, as being considered a form cultism, in the days of drugs and free love. Parents, therefore would consider him dangerous, and that was where he was, at all times during his life. Artists, could be victims of ignorance and those in a mental health that is depressive, to then be accused of causing such states of being. Did Andy Warhol see the victimage in a complexity of the history of his training. Was the drag, commercialism, to have everyone at some point against, to use the emotional outbreak in a style created as Antagonistic.The second video, just above is evidence of an action, this is the getting before a God fearing public to the neanderthallics of mankind. A form of gay-ism as to watching yourself in a mind to query, and then the word can be stretched to have a dialective.His work could be considered to not have a stop and start, and that is anti-social.
What is your opinion of Andy Warhol as an artist?
Andy Warhol was an excellent commercial artist. He was precise and focused in his work. And he did what many artists before him did - he used other artists’ works and applied his more narrow creativity to expand on them and make them open to a new kind of vision. Some artists are genuine creators - they can go from zero to something. Warhol was not that kind of artist. He was more of a collaborator. He accompanied, adding on to the original creation of others - yet providing something new and fresh.Many Pop Artists did this - and Duchamp before them. Nothing essentially creative about L.H.O.O.Q., yet Mona Lisa’s new mustache has now become a meme….. fallen into the visual language of modernity. Much of Pop Art doesn’t have art creation as its objective. It is more interested in visual and social commentary. And if we are going to appreciate it at all, we need to accept it on its own terms.But back to Andy Warhol. Personally, I don’t care much for his work. It’s colorful, cheerful, and can be fun for decor. But for me, it lacks emotional depth, so is disqualified for any short list I might have for art I love.However, I believe Warhol is still a very great artist - and massively important historically. Why? Because he made a critical point that changed art completely. Essentially, he said that anything - if intended and presented as art - can be deemed to be art.Without that understanding, we could not have “Stomp”, the dance group that makes dance with garbage cans. We could not have so many, many other things that we now take for granted as being part of the immense world of art. Andy Warhol, with his silly hair, his “Factory” and his cheery retinue, single-handedly enlarged the art world beyond anything we could have imagined it being before he entered the scene.It could be said that Duchamp made the same point much earlier with his urinal “Fountain” and his readymades, and this is true. But Duchamp was a grumpy Frenchman. And his timing was wrong. He was cynical, didn’t smile, and he wasn’t in a prosperous, idealistic, media-rich America. We can look back and see his contribution, but ultimately, in terms of art history, he was a caboose, and not a locomotive. He could not pull the train.Warhol had all the right ingredients. And he was in the right place, at the right time. Art was changed forever.Thanks Jhon Robert, for the compliment of the A2A.
Was Andy Warhol a vegan?
No, he was a painter
Is investing in an Andy Warhol a sound idea?
Art has a tendency to be a decent store of value over the long run, but there are some caveats. You need to be certain you are buying an original work an not a counterfeit, and you need to consider that as an investment, the market for the piece of artwork is small and it could be difficult to sell in a pinch.
