I am professionally established (#lol) as an exhibition designer. Was, perhaps.
I PM'd an exhib design on Warhol. (I was a exhibition design project manager of an exhibition of Andy Warhol)
Kid you not, I did my whole research

So, reading this whole story will give you a whole different look on the man.
I can summarize. ;)
Andy Warhol.. he goes like this..........
He suffered a rare skin disease when he was a child.
That made his balls sparkle rubies (blood clots) like stars.
He was so shy he never joined the New York orgies, but drew.
He became the most successful graphic designer selling shoes (and cars).
Then he lost his heart in Asia, coming back to be the most famed illustrator.
He started selling reject prints at Serendipity.
He got hospitalized for ass fucking so hard.
Just blew away every penny making movies.
With his stars he picked up off the streets.
Until he got shot three times in his silver factory.
Then the 70's came and he rather spent up the ground.
With Jackie and Jaggers and just more to come.
Well, he spent more time professionally fucking around, supporting arts and culture,
until he died in his dream on a hospital bed.
Good bye Andy.
The man who gave Art to people.
Even Basquiat was one of the Warhol-childrens.
So it goes.
