Warhol and the Film Factory

Facets Multi-Media, Inc., a non-profit media arts organization located in Chicago, recently had a week long Andy Warhol film retrospective and you can catch clips of Andy Warhol at their blog.

That's where I found this gem:



While Warhol says virtually nothing (and is rather cute in his smug silence), I blame the interviewer for asking simple "yes or no" questions. You'll never get anywhere with those.

UPDATE (later same day): Thanks, Mark for posting this at Boing Boing! (BoingBoingers, check out the rest of the blog!)

I love how he laughs a bit after providing one of his uninterested and vague replies. He gets the joke.

Interesting trivia: Warhol had an IQ of 86.

any Warhol is good Warhol, especially video from this era. the zenith of his creativity was in the early 70s, but cuts like these provide more insight into what he was doing in the 60s

I'd check out the rest of your site, but other than the myriad ads (and Warhol) what IS there?

cheers, thanks

Asha, there's more proof against the IQ testing!

Benbenek, sorry you feel ads deminish the blog. I won't extol the virtues of the blog; one could say paid ads do that themselves. ;)

the smile, i have to believe, was because pop art (and more specifically his art) is by definition is repetitive.
