$0.80 Admission to the Warhol & Warhol on MTV

It is August 6 is Andy Warhol‘s birthday and yesterday he would have turned 80 years old. To celebrate Andy’s birthday – admission to the Warhol Musuem is just $0.80 (Free if you are 80 years old) on Saturday, August 9, 2008. Click here for details at Warhol.org
The Warhol Museum is a great place for a quick or long visit. Since admission is only $0.80 it is definitely worth stopping by to see whats new. I love the building, I like the art work – I really like the archives but those are closed for this year.

Last year I learned that just before he died Andy Warhol had his own series on MTV – Andy Warhol’s Fifteen Minutes. When I wrote the post back in February of 2007 – I couldn’t find any clips of his show.

Lucky for me – The Warhol Museum will be showing the pilot and the first episode of the series on Saturday @ 3pm. Sadly the Warhol Museum website provides no other info about the film. Click here for the IMDB page – which doesn’t have much info either.

Andy Warhol’s 80th Birthday

Here are some other blogs that wrote about Warhol’s 80th Birthday – it is really interesting to see how other people reflect on Andy Warhol:

Fun Fact: Warhol on MTV

Did you know that Andy Warhol had a tv show on MTV in 1986? Last week I was working on creating this t-shirt. (Visit WashableWisdom.com for the story behind the quote.)

A visit to Wikipedia’s entry on Andy Warhol and I learned that Warhol had a show, Andy Warhol’s Fifteen Minutes, on MTV.   Cool and kind of unexpected.  I couldn’t find anything else about the show online. Does anyone remember seeing the show? Are there any clips on the show online?
