I am absolutely fascinated by Warhol. I thought the newyorker did a nice piece about his life and work. Was detailed and nuanced look at his work, highlighting the many contradictions and complexities that made him such a fascinating figure in the art world and beyond. Also like how his persona was shaped by his experiences as a gay man during a time when homosexuality was largely stigmatized and illegal. It also touches on Warhol's infamous shooting by Valerie Solanas in 1968 and its impact on his art and personal life.

Also did you know Warhol was a devout Catholic? Despite his controversial artwork, Warhol was a devout Catholic who attended church regularly and often carried a rosary with him. He even established a foundation to support the preservation of Catholic church art and architecture.

He was also a prolific filmmaker! In addition to his artwork, Warhol also made more than 600 films over the course of his career.

The Warhol museum in his hometown of Pittsburgh is phenomenal.

There’s also a fantastic array of prints at Dia:Beacon that really conveys the impact of the mass production of image generation on society.

wow:

"The value of Andy Warhol's work has been on an endless upward trajectory since his death in 1987. In 2014, his works accumulated $569 million at auction, which accounted for more than a sixth of the global art market."
