Andy Warhol, “celebrity culture”, contemporary art.Abstract
The text discusses the way in which the public and private spheres collapse into one another in Warhol’s work, thus conjecturing in it the matrix of a “celebrity culture”, a phenomenon of contemporary society brought about by the biopolitic regime and the post fordist world which would be later described by such authors as Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt. While focusing mostly on Warhol’s experiments with the Factory, a studio he ran between 1963 and 1968,the author shows how the artist’s work extends itself far beyond the paintings, films and other pieces he would produce, also encompassing, and crucially, his innumerable public performances and utterances.Downloads
