"From PBS's American Masters series, Ric Burns's Emmy Award-winning portrait of America's most influential artist of the latter half of the 20th century was the first film to exploit the immense archives at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. It was also the first film to explore the complete spectrum of Warhol's astonishing artistic output, stretching five decades from the late 1940s to his untimely death in the 1980s. Episode 1 explores Warhol's early family life in Pittsburgh, revealing how a childhood illness shaped his art and character. It also traced Andy's creative development from young art student through to his career as a commercial graphic artist on New York's Glamour magazine. Episode 2 looks at the dark side of the artist's fame and his fascination with the self-destructive personalities that populated the burgeoning New York art scene in the early '70s."
