...Schnabel began to pour more of his energies into filmmaking, which turned out to be a better place for them than painting. In 1996 he directed Basquiat, about you-know-who, with its peerlessly funny impersonation of Andy Warhol by David Bowie. Before Night Falls,made four years later, brought an Oscar nomination for Best Actor to Javier Bardem, who played Reinaldo Arenas, an AIDS-stricken Cuban writer who committed suicide in New York City in 1990. Even before Schnabel began directing, Longo directed a film, Johnny Mnemonic, starring Keanu Reeves in a futuristic film noir. So did David Salle...
...Jeff Koons," toured Europe to spread the not unreasonable idea that Dali was a significant precursor of Pop and postmodernism. In the same spirit he is being re-examined by academics and curators as a pioneer of the artist as public performer, role model par excellence for Andy Warhol and Koons. It might not seem like a good thing to re-emerge as the original media whore, but there's no denying Dali's role in making showmanship an art-world career tactic...
...Pollock’s work as a kind of debasement of painting itself. And according to some scholars, this material quality is one of the most art-historically significant qualities of his work.

For a few years, they searched for a project, briefly considering a movie about Andy Warhol star Edie Sedgwick before settling on Patrick Marber's play. Portman had avoided sexually charged roles ever since she played, in close succession, the street urchin in The Professional and the 13-year-old who flirts with Timothy Hutton in Beautiful Girls. "I had a bad early experience when The Professional came...
...Andy Warhol notoriously rejected the dividing line between art and commerce. He'd be happy, then, to see Campbell's tomato-soup cans with labels inspired by his famous silk screens lining supermarket shelves. Through a licensing agreement with the Andy Warhol Foundation, Campbell's has introduced limited-edition cans in four color combinations, selling for $2.99 a four-pack exclusively at Giant Eagle supermarkets in the U.S. This is the first time Campbell's has deviated from its red-and-white label since it was introduced in 1898. And with a run of 300,000 cans, each with...
