It appears to me that all those Warhol exhibitions held around the world again and again actually match by chance with the artist's own view of art. It's all about reproduction and imitation after all. With this in mind, you might want to take special care looking at the portraits taken by Warhol as kind of a foundation of his work. Including also polaroids on display, this is an event that emphasizes the skills of "Warhol the photographer" (although skills don't really play a role in his case), and for '60s groupies the movies of Nico, Edie Sedgwick, and other "legendary characters" shot at the Factory are probably objects of envy. By that way, I wonder when the art world will finally present us with another charismatic artist. Well, that doesn't play a role either... naomi
