Andy Warhol’s MTV show

Of course Andy Warhol made a TV show for MTV called Andy Warhol’s Fifteen Minutes.

The whole thing is a perfect snapshot of everything to love and hate about the 1980s: the art bull market, Manhattan, fashion’s hardworking LGBT backbone, and the nature of celebrity in the dawn of the fractured and streaming media world we live in now.
