Documentary | Short | Music

Overview

This intimate portrait of Andy Warhol pulls together a unique library of material shot by New York film legend Jonas Mekas. Spanning from 1963 to 1990, the film features a cast of counterculture icons including Allen Ginsberg, George Maciunas, John Lennon, and Yoko Ono, as well as John and Caroline Kennedy, and Lee Radziwill (Jackie Kennedy Onassis’s sister and Warhol muse)—to whom Mekas dedicates the film. The film features footage from the Velvet Underground’s first public performance. A portrait of the remarkable life of arguable the twentieth century’s most famous artist and leading iconographer.

Viewing Notes

Velvet Underground! Literally Andy Warhol home videos shot by Jonas Mekas with title cards like “At Caroline’s Birthday Party 1972” and similar. Best thing is to see Warhol in these situations (like making soup and serving it to John Lennon and Yoko Ono or shopping at the farmers market).
