<p>Andy Warhol wasn’t just creating art, he was creating contemporary culture. Warhol's "Factory" was his tool for creating progressive culture. He was able to jump from generation to generation and remain relevant.</p>

Warhol's Impact on the Art World

<p>Andy Warhol predicted that everybody in the future will receive at least <a href="https://www.npr.org/2008/10/08/95516647/warhol-was-right-about-15-minutes-of-fame">15 minutes of fame</a>. This couldn't be more true with the boom of the internet in the technological age.</p>

15 Minutes of Fame

<p>Warhol had a strong relationship with <a href="https://www.basquiat.com">Jean-Michel Basquiat</a>. They were well acquainted and collaborated on a series of pieces. Later in their careers, they fell out and rarely spoke. Eventually, Warhol passed in a hospital and Basquiat passed due to an overdose of various drugs.</p>

"The Andy Warhol Diaries" on Netflix was highly influential to me. The docu-series highlighted some of my favorite artists including Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. The series emphasized the importance of Andy Warhol's contribution to contemporary culture.

After he's shot in 1968, Andy Warhol begins documenting his life and feelings. Those diaries, and this series, reveal the secrets behind his persona. Watch trailers & learn more.
