This is the story of Andy Warhol, who became as much of a pop icon as his famous soup cans. In the 1970s, Warhol burst onto the New York art scene with his iconoclastic art work. The conventional art set was aghast. The public asked, "But is it art?" In short, a star was born. The Pop Art era had arrived, and Andy Warhol was its high priest. Archival film footage shows some of Warhol's major works, as well as the artist himself, enjoying his celebrity lifestyle in New York City. Interviews with family, friends, and colleagues give insight into the life -- and death -- of one of the most unique artists of the modern era. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide
