Dandy Andy: Warhol’s Queer History
Join artist educators for Dandy Andy, a monthly tour that focuses on Warhol’s queer history. While his sexuality is frequently suppressed or debated, Warhol was a gay man who had several partners throughout his life. Warhol’s boyfriends, including Edward Wallowitch, John Giorno, and Jed Johnson, were also his colleagues and collaborators, helping to shape and describe his career as an artist. This tour traces Warhol’s idealistic relationships and queer identity against the backdrop of the historical gay rights movement in the United States. Tours meet on the museum&#;s seventh floor.
LGBTQ stories: Andy Warhol's unlikely spirituality
One of America’s most beloved artists kept a covert. Something that may have shocked his friends and colleagues. Andy Warhol — pop artist and gay icon — was also a lifelong Catholic who went to mass regularly at a church in New York City’s Upper East Side.
Warhol grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His family were Slovakian immigrants — their original name was Warhola. And every week, his mother took him to a Byzantine Catholic Church.
“Andy grew up in a religious and hardworking household, and I think that applies to his career and adult life,” said Jose Diaz, a curator at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.
Diaz came to Adj York last year to insert together an exhibition on Warhol’s spiritual life at the Brooklyn Museum — with curator Carmen Hermo. Carmen walks me through a room in the museum full of Warhol trinkets.
“There are sweet works that he made as a child, gorgeous minute painted Jesus statue that he made at ten years old,” Hermo said. “As a trainee at Carnegie tech, reproducing images of the family cruci

While Andy Warhol’s gay art and identity include long been recognized, generally his sexuality is more or less confined to his choice of subject matter rather than informing his methods. Using the recently rediscovered &#; and very queer &#; unexpurgated text of a famous interview with Gene Swenson (that was ruthlessly edited to remove all references to queerness), Katz will argue the opposite: that Warhol’s work is top understood as something then quite fragile and new — a tentative, still unstable species of queer (as oppposed to gay) standpoint epistemology dedicated to eliminating the very grounds of sexual difference. In the process, Katz reframes some of Warhol&#;s most recognized works as evidence of a coherent program to oblitera
How Andy Warhol Revolutionized Art & Sexuality
My profile picture on Affinity Magazine is me in front of Andy Warhol&#;s Campbell&#;s Soup Cans when I visited the Museum of Modern Art during my hour spent in New York Capital back in September The photo is quite old, but I can clearly recall the noun I visited the gallery; I ate a crepe and drank peppermint tea before taking a short walk from the cafe over to MoMA. I also went only hours before my flight back home to Toronto, so my mind was packed with bittersweet emotions. But what distracted me from having to leave was all of the art I viewed while wandering around the museum. And although I cherished the expressionism of Marc Chagall&#;s work and the calming blue hues of Vincent Van Gogh&#;s The Starry Night, there was something inherently moving in each canvas of Warhol&#;s depiction of Campbell&#;s soup that I couldn&#;t describe.
