About

Warhol

Andy Warhol is portrayed by Crispin Glover in Oliver Stone's film The Doors (1991). He is also played by David Bowie in Basquiat, a film by Julian Schnabel. In the film I Shot Andy Warhol, directed by Mary Harron (1996), the actor Jared Harris portrayed Warhol. Sean Gregory Sullivan depicted Warhol in the film 54 (1998). The latest film actor to portray the artist is Guy Pearce in the 2007 film, Factory Girl.

Andy Warhol: A Documentary Film is a reverential four-hour 2006 movie by Ric Burns.

Gus Van Sant was planning a version of Warhol's life with River Phoenix in the lead role just before the latter's death in the early 1990s (as discussed in an interview with the two, included in the published My Own Private Idaho script book).

New York City (officially the City of New York) is a city in the state of New York and is the most populous city in the United States of America. Its business, finance and trading organizations are significant players in the nation's economy and in the world.[1] The city is one of the world's most important cultural centers with hundreds of museums, galleries, and performance venues. Home of the United Nations, the city is also one of the world's major venues for international diplomacy.

The city comprises five boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. With 8.2 million residents and a land area of 321 square miles (830 km²), New York City has the highest population density of any major city in North America.[2][3] The city's metropolitan area, with a population of 18.7 million, ranks among the largest urban areas in the world.[4]

New York City has been a dominant global financial center since World War II. It is also the birthplace of many American cultural movements, including the Harlem Renaissance in literature and visual art, abstract expressionism in painting, and hip hop in music.[5] The city's cultural vitality has been fueled by immigration since its founding by Dutch settlers in 1623. In 2005, nearly 170 languages were spoken in the city and 36% of its population was foreign born
