2 Classic Warhol Ads: Braniff Airlines & Sony TV



Warhol was well known for renting himself out for ads & commercials. Here are 2 vintage magazine ads: One for Braniff Airlines where he appeared with the famous boxer Sonny Liston. It contained his famous line, "If ya got it, flaunt it!".The other one is for Sony Beta Tape. In the near future I plan on posting the actual TV Commercial ( online video ) where he & Liston are talking about Braniff Airlines so be sure to check back for that one, it's a classic! This is just the print ad.

Warhol Paints ART CAR for BMW ( Video )

Warhol Painting BMW for ART CARS Series ( Wallpaper )



BMW is famous for its "ART CARS", a series dating back to the 1970's where famous artists use a real BMW car as their canvas. One year BMW asked Warhol to paint one of their cars, a BMW M1 Race Car. All the other artists first of all painted their pattern on a scaled-down model and then had this transferred to the car by assistants, the Pop Art legend Andy Warhol painted the 470 hp BMW M1 himself from start to finish. On the subject of his sweeping brush and finger strokes, he said: "I tried to portray speed pictorially. If a car is moving really quickly, all the lines and colors are blurred." Warhol's rolling work of art had its first and only race outing at the 24-hour race at Le Mans in 1979, when it was sixth in the overall ranking. A few select group of artists have painted these for BMW including David Hockney, Roy Lichtnstein, Keith Haring, & others. But we all know Warhol's car is the best!

It's a series of real boxing bags that were painted by both Andy & Jean Micheal Basquiat. The imagery used by Andy Warhol is of Jesus from his "Last Supper" series....awesome!

The Andy Warhol Family Museum in Slovakia




Andy was born in America but his parents were imigrants from Slovakia. It appears that now that country is really trying to milk that fact & they have opened the Andy Warhol Family Museum. They have a display area inside which is mainly art prints but outside they have a bronze sculpture that has Andy holding an umbrella. The sculpture is kinda cool & from the Official Slovakia Tourism website it looks like a beautiful country, maybe worth a trip!

FAME: Andy Warhol Commissioned Portraits




Andy was very well known for taking on clients to do portraits in the 1970's & 80's. These are some of my most favorite kind of Warhol images he worked on. Also, these pictures are kind of hard to find since most went to a person's private home. But, sometimes they reach auction or are publicized & we can see a few, enjoy!

Funny Andy Warhol Comic Strip ( Humor )


This comic strip is pretty hilarious! It's mainly about the idea of Warhol's 75th Birthday Event & about the Andy Warhol Art Museum being opened in Pittsburg, Penn ( Where he was born & raised ), instead of New York City ( where he lived till his death & for most of his career ). I just wanted to share this because I really love the way the cartoonist draws & his great sense of humor, enjoy. ( Click the Small Picture for Larger One ).
