  1. yea… its quite watchable… im just learning for my upcoming tests of “art after 1945″ and watching docs like this making these informations much more rememberable than some silly boring textreading.. thanks a lot for uploading. ps-presenter wasnt that bad (but im not that sure because of his crying in the end of Mattisse episode:))

  2. I’m not too fond on his work, but I thought I’d like to learn more about him. Thanks for uploading! Very interesting! I must admit that the Marilyn Monroe popart has for some reason always intrigued me and I wanted a pic of it on my wall! I still sorta do. I just like the vibrance and colours of it I guess. I though I’d check this out as it was suggested from a a dead famous video of him.

  3. God, this presenter is unbearable. Appreciate the upload, but what an unoriginal approach to a Warhol documentary. Didn’t tell me anything I didn’t know already. The appearances by Hopper and Malanga etc. were interesting, however, despite the presenter and his annoying input.
