Warhol the Sad
Original title: Tristísimo Warhol
An essential portrait of the figure who changed art forever.
Who was Andy Warhol, really? Was he the most famous representative of pop culture, someone fascinated by advertising and success, a compulsive buyer and consumer, aversatile and admired artist? Or was he, perhaps, the last great painter in the European tradition of portraiture and still life; a man consumed by his possessions, melancholic, nostalgic, who lived life as a race toward death? We now bring back to the “Argumentos” series Warhol the Sad, a highly original essay that answers these questions in the form of a narrative.
