The Andy Warhol Diaries, Netflix
From Ryan Murphy and director Andrew Rossi, this expansive, six-part portrait of a legend chronicles the remarkable life of Andy Warhol from the intimate vantage point offered by the artist’s own posthumously published diaries. Beginning with his childhood in Pittsburgh, the series traces Warhol’s scarcely believable journey, fluidly moving between media and eras as an artist, director, publisher, TV producer, scene maker, celebrity and much more. While he was a larger-than-life figure, Warhol was intensely private regarding his personal life. This series reveals much about the complex man through his own words – often in his own voice – and those who worked, created and played alongside him.
