Finally went to the Whitney Museum to see the Andy Warhol exhibit and I must say it did not disappoint. Was thoroughly impressed with the scope of the collection on hand -- the Campbell Soup cans, Brillo Pad boxes, Mao, Marilyn, Jackie, Liz plus all of the iconic celebrity portraits and lots of movies, magazines and videos -- all in one building through March 31. I've written about my youthful love of Andy -- I even tried to look like him! -- and how his Factory freaks made me feel a little less isolated as a kid in the Phoenix suburbs. What a thrill to finally stand inches away from so many of these iconic works in the flesh.

as big of a tennis fan you seem to be- surprised you didn't mention Chris Evert's Warhol pic. She said she only heard him mumble 2-3 words, but she liked the picture.
Ha! Great story. Sorry, I thought photographing and posting it was mentioning it. You can see I also picked a newspaper cover mentioning Jessica Savitch, Madonna, some fisting action and more!
I saw the Warhol exhibit at the Whitney. Although I agree that there are many amazing pieces, I just don't get the Brillo pad boxes. Can you - or someone - enlighten me regarding why these are considered important? I'm sorry - I want to understand but I just don't. :(
