In his later career American artist Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was famous simply for being famous, so much had his own celebrity overtaken the awareness of the art he actually produced. This video, directed by Kim Evans, provides a survey of Warhol's work. It looks at his early success in commercial art, his reaction against the prevailing tenets of Abstract Expressionsim, and his emergence as a leading figure of the American Pop Art movement of the early 1960s. His activities as an "underground" film-maker are also covered, with commentary from the cast members of such films as "Sleep" and "Chelsea Girls".
