Andy Warhol at the Villa By Barton G., 1980

Andy Warhol toured South Beach and the Amsterdam Palace in 1980, while in Miami for his exhibition "Jews of the 20th Century" at Lowe Art Museum. The Amsterdam Palace was later renovated by Gianni Versace, and is now operated as The Villa by Barton G.

I love how Andy was just like “uh, no. You’re wrong.” to every statement that reporter made.

[@owenwilberforce6138]

Andy was so good at deflecting self important energy. Interviewers just didn’t ever know what to ask or how to ask it. I love what he says about recycling. He lived to see his work collected but never be self-important except as remembering the subject. Andy made the attention go to others, but that’s what made him endearing. Like a musician who backs up a vocalist without ever getting in the way or drawing attention to themselves.

[@capitanfuturo594]

Andy Warhol was a genius.

[@wuipuichang611]

He didn't suffer fools, but he did it a kind of gentle and funny way. The interviewer had no idea

[@mikedunkle6709]

miss andy everyday, we lost him 30 years ago today....

[@Tamar-sz8ox]

I’ve heard Lou Reed speak about Andy , Lou said Andy had a constant stream of ideas and was always working - always creating . Lou also said Andy was very supportive of other artists . It appears Andy had autism - very high functioning on the spectrum. Which would perhaps explain a lot . Anyway , Warhol’s artistic legacy lives on ❤️

[@kelcritcarroll]

I think he may have an anxiety issue or adhd of some sort....he seems very kind and innocent like.....Im just guessing and you may be right about autism.....

[@markandresen1]

With autism in my family, I recognise the signs, so you may well be right.

[@frankscott927]

I’ve always wondered if it was asbergers ? Please excuse my spelling on that. I love that he’s still so much in the mix of life today.

[@Bilmonis]

Andy W. had a peculiar way of talking, but I don't think it has to do with autism, because he played the social game with great skills. I don't see autistic people be as sociable as he was.

[@justicewillprevail1106]

He’s so ahead of his time.

[@OroborusFMA]

It's a shame he didn't live to see the revolution in computer graphics.

[@danielwilson7657]

Oroborus he did some early on when it first came out

[@deschutesmaple4520]

Actually I'm glad he didn't. His work is more authentic and real; today's computer graphics lack originality, creativity. Warhol actually created original work; today's commercial and fine artists are merely 'copy and paste' digital reproductions.

[@zkrhmn]

In a wider cultural sense I wonder what he would've made of the musical devices in the 90s, rock/grunge, rap etc, perhaps would have been drawn to Kurt Cobain in a mentor manner

I am feeling this as well

[@part4963]

What should we understand about him?

[@igneogl7489]

Always interesting to hear the most influential visual artist of the XX century after Picasso.

[@madeleine8662]

truly!

[@IRGhost0]

I think Warhol is many times as influential as picasso.. warhol influenced the world in so many different ways besides just artistically.

[@martab2761]

those questions are painfully thick

always remembering that Edie and Andy duo

[@LISA61367]

Poor Andy…so much of him was misunderstood

[@PsalmHymn]

No, he was well understood and much studied, even now-a-days, at universities worldwide. Have A Nice Day.

[@chrisaguirre4771]

@@PsalmHymn Yep

[@calvinsaxon5822]

The questions were really bizarre, as in wtf? Coming up with bizarre tangential conceptions and then trying to get Warhol to agree when the questions are barely even comprehensible.

[@briteness]

The interviewer seems a bit clueless, but many of the people who interviewed Andy over the years were like that. In a way the dynamic we see here actually helped Andy. His schtick required a straight man.

[@djrakman3909]

Recycling paved the way for hip hop. Warhol helped put hip hop on the map.

theres a rapper called warhol.ss lol

[@metronomejack]

It's magic! I’m a French fan of Andy Warhol, I sing his life and his death "Warhol’s Words", played on my channel!

[@superlunary2015]

Wow my first time seeing Warhol in motion and hearing him speak. I was expecting a very cool, snooty aloof character. He seems cool but normal in a down to earth kinda way. Not aristocratic. I only know him from his pop art not much about his personal life. I wasn’t expecting his American accent. I was expecting a Grace Jones international type of accent lol

[@JavaScriptJolt]

You should watch The Andy Warhol Diaries on Netflix; very interesting. I remember his MTV show. I could listen to him talk all day; he was a mesmerizing individual.

That reporter was kinda dumb with those questions.

ignorant af the reporter dude is dumber than a rock in a doorway

[@kelcritcarroll]

Yes and didnt even let him answer ...ive seen maybe 3 interviews of Andy And all the interviewers were quite rude and condesending like towards him...he seems like he may have an anxiety type issue and im thinking a bit adhdish...? Anyway he seems like the kindest person to me and extremely sweet and endearing

[@katkaplan3]

@@kelcritcarroll definitely on the spectrum somewhere. He was the nicest guy. Got to meet him back in 1980 and shop together in nyc. The reporter was a total ass.

[@angebo5951]

It's so annoying how none of these interviewers actually ask him questions but rather provide their skewed interpretations as statements that must be true and from Andy himself. Glad he corrects them.

Cherub, silly. :)

[@Frankybeanselevators]

Cherub, a winged angelic being described in biblical tradition as attending on God. It is represented in ancient Middle Eastern art as a lion or bull with eagles' wings and a human face, and regarded in traditional Christian angelology as an angel of the second highest order of the ninefold celestial hierarchy.

Andy Warhol is an American icon and should be posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
