The fascination with ANDY WARHOL never wanes. Only this week writer/actor Ryan Raftery opened his new comic parody The Trial of Andy Warhol at Joe’s Pub this week (see Queerguru’s interview HERE).
Now queer uber-producer Ryan Murphy has commissioned Andrew Rossi (The First Monday in May ) to direct a six-part TV series on legendary artist/filmmaker. Beginning with his childhood in Pittsburgh, the series traces Warhol’s almost unbelievably diverse journey fluidly moving between mediums and through eras as an artist —both revered and reviled — director, publisher, TV producer, scene maker, celebrity, and much more.
While he was a larger-than-life figure, Warhol was intensely private regarding his personal life. This series truly reveals much about the very complex man through his own words — often in his own voice through the use of cutting-edge AI techniques— and those who worked created, and played alongside him from the subversive to the mainstream, from John Waters to Rob Lowe. The Andy Warhol Diaries deftly validates Warhol’s belief that the idea is not to live forever but to create art that will.
