Who is Andy Warhol
Ranked #12,644 in Entertainment, #141,100 overall
An original avant-garde, often controversial American artist and central figure in Pop culture ** that is Andy Warhol!
To capture the essence of Andy Warhol, a single lens page just cannot possibly begin to scratch the surface. So, let this page be your starting point towards an understanding of who Andy Warhol was and what made him tick!
Why this lens? Well, simply put ... I've written several Eastern European and genealogical-type lenses probing my families' diverse ancestry. Andy Warhol just so happened to come to light because of his last name.
I have been researching the Warhol name as it links back to Warhola and Varchola. Varchola is an Eastern European family name listed in our family genealogy. Debunking whether or not Andy Warhol is a family relation through six degrees of separation or less! Talk about those fifteen minutes of fame!!!
===> An original avant-garde, often controversial American artist and central figure in Pop culture ** that is Andy Warhol! Ah, you know by now that I am a FAN of Andy Warhol ... but contemplate this: I might be a RELATIVE too! Ah, the power of relativity and the power of the internet and the power of Squidoo too!

- I met Andy in 1974 at Radio City Music Hall. We share the same surname (mine Warhola- he dropped the second a), and he was very friendly to me. Spoke about Deco and each other.

- I am very much an Andy Warhol fan! (I even have a little figurine of him sitting by my monitor on my desk - I keep it there so I can channel his genius although that may be wishful thinking). Great lens on this great artist. (:
