Andy Warhol's Screen Test
May 15, 2023
Andy Warhol is too huge of a subject matter for one show. So, on Tosh Talks, I focus on the Andy Warhol Screen Tests and the film Empire, which is his portrait of the Empire State Building. Warhol did a series of portraits of people he worked with at his factory and those who just stopped by, like Dennis Hopper, Ann Buchanan, and Edie Sedgwick. "13 Most Beautiful..." is a superb DVD released by Plexifilm. "Andy Warhol Screen Tests," edited by Callie Angell, is a must-have book for anyone interested in Andy Warhol and his cinema. - Tosh Berman
Thanks Tosh, I haven’t had the chance to see these films but Warhol’s mind fascinates me. I found “Screen Tests / A Diary Gerard Malanga Andy Warhol published by Kulture Press 1967. It was not inn great shape and I paid 20 cents for it. I left the price because it seemed an incredible find.
