Netflix has a massive library of its own when it comes to biographical documentaries. And they are working tirelessly to further expand it. Another addition to the list is the upcoming series, The Andy Warhol Diaries.
For those who don’t know who Andy Warhol is, here’s a little introduction of the artist. Andy Warhol was an eccentric artist, film director, and producer. Moreover, he was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art in the 1950s. Warhol was very much into advertising and celebrity culture, painting, photography, and silk-screening. His most famous silkscreen paintings are Campbell’s Soup Cans (1962) and Marilyn Diptych (1962).
Fans of the eccentric artist Andy Warhol are very excited to see his story come to life in this series. Warhol’s diaries were published posthumously by his friend and collaborator Pat Hackett. In the fall of 1976, each weekday morning, Warhol and Hackett talked via phone as he would chronicle the previous day’s events in his life. The IRS audited Warhol annually, and these diary entries supplemented any records they would need for the audits.
