Andy Warhol

How fun is that a 40something commercial artist found vindication by become famous for theorizing about Fame.

Daily, when confronted with Rob Pruitt's "Andy Monument" hovering over Union Square I swear my mind turns to Warholspeak.

'Querelle' is a 100 in the TI Iconic Fashion Films spectrum

47 points because it is Fassbinder interpreting Jean Genet.( I mean I wouldn't want to see those two together in a bar in Brest ...after-hours.)

Well Andy especially would have lived for the gallery as boutique

Art for everybody! Or maybe I'm just hot for anything "pop-up".

Andy Warhol always found the hottest angle on the rich and famous

Another Warhol book? Is his detritus inexhaustible? Well...yes.

I love Andy's idea of Japanese.

An incredible, incredible design resource

Egoiste is the ideal design wise, right this minute for TI

“It’s time for a magazine to have well-executed visuals to counterbalance the culture of point-and-shoot "...“Quality needs to be put into magazines today, otherwise there will be no reason for magazines to exist.”

Kieth Haring in the early years with Paulee Zance

TI is feeling a great nostalgia for the very NEW YORK visuals of the Haring era which makes the imagery from this exhibit all the more timely.

Fabien Baron: Today one jumps between the worlds of art, fashion and entertainment all the time. Designers hire artists to work on their products, while artists want fashion people to be interested in their work, and they both care about fame the way Hollywood cares about fame. Where before these fields were very elitist, today they spread out everywhere. They're interacting more than ever, overlapping and becoming almost one. Interview will represent that. We can make a special fashion issue and be believable, or make a special art issue and be believable, or do entertainment.

Lee Carter: It seems like that's what Andy would've wanted.

Fabien Baron: And it's what he did very well. He was able to mix glamorous and trendy on the same page, to show the worlds together as one. We can be the ambassadors of this vision.

Lee Carter :A big swirl.
