Director: Chuck Workman
(1990, 87 minutes)
Superstar looks at the life, work, and impact of Andy Warhol (1928–1987), pop icon and artist, from his childhood in Pittsburgh to his death after a botched surgery. Warhol coined the word “superstar,” became one, and changed the way the culture looks at and understands celebrity. Chuck Workman interviews art dealers, critics, and celebrities such as Dennis Hopper, Ultra Violet, Tom Wolfe, Sylvia Miles, Irving Blum, Paul Warhola, Fran Lebowitz, and others to discover what was at the core of Warhol’s creativity.
The exhibition Warhol by the Book will open for program attendees before the screening.
