What happened to Andy Warhol?

The internet defines Warhol in short as a "plastic artist and American actor". Although his self-interpretation was sober, it could be interpreted. He said he wanted to be plastic, and his face, when I met him (1982), looked like the surface of pink bubblegum. Of Slovak parents, Warhol was born in 1928 and died, in a banal operation, in 1987, aged 58. Without a doubt, he is an icon of the 20th century, for a certain easy brilliance and his image as a general mesocracy, despite the fact that he was homosexual, Catholic and a millionaire. He said that Coca-cola makes us all equal, as rich and poor alike drink it...

But now there is less interest in Warhol, or less talk about him. Maybe because his sayings (the famous fifteen minutes of fame for all) have already been fulfilled and enough is enough? Or maybe because, as art critics and thinkers claim, he was never really a painter? He made very fine drawings, but his iconic portraits, from Marilyn, to Elizabeth Taylor or Isabel Preysler, among many others, were colored photos and were drawn on machines like linotypes. He only arranged the blocks of color, a priori... This made him the "Pop Pope", rightly so. His experimental films, from 1963's Somni (in which the poet John Giorno sleeps for hours) to a low-budget western like Lonesome Cowboys from 1969, are tedious and also pop. All the golden galactic dirt that Andy liked triumphed. what else From the beginning of the 70s he only repeated his star portraits and became more of a star himself. Surrounded at the Factory by transvestites and drug addicts, he lived among drugs - nights at Studio 54 - but he reiterated that he would never try them. He promoted very modern talents, such as Paul Morrissey in cinema and Jean Michel Basquiat in painting. But was he doing anything other than showing himself? The best, his posthumous Diaries, full of gossip, or books like My philosophy from A to B or from B to A, from 1975. Did Andy exist or was it the spark of life? Others will remember the protomartyr of radical feminism (1968) except for Valerie Solanas. And...?
