The Mind Creative March 2014
In the eighties, Warhol’s emergence of fame and fortune is widely
attributed to the affiliation that he kept with many emerging
successful artists.
During his eventful and a rather colourful life, Andy Warhol also
produced films that were as quirky as his lifestyle. Between 1963
and 1968 he made over 60 films one of which was a six hour movie
“Sleep” that just showed a man sleeping for 6 hours!
Warhol died, at the age of 58, on February 22nd 1987 while recovering
from a routine gallbladder operation leaving behind memories of a
larger than life character whose influence in the world of art
perseveres to this day.
