Sag Harbor Cinema will host a special screening of the 1972 documentary “Andy Warhol” followed by a conversation with director Lana Jokel.
The screening takes place on Monday, June 6 at 7 PM. SHC Founding Artistic Director Giulia D’Agnolo Vallan moderates the post-screening talk with Jokel. Her works include films about artists Claes Oldenburg, Larry Rivers, and Keith Sonnier. Vincent and Shelly Fremont, who were part of Warhol’s inner circle, will also take part.
In addition to working with Warhol at his Factory in various capacities for 20 years, Vincent Fremont has been responsible for managing the artist’s legacy following his death in 1987.
The film shows Warhol in his inimitable style and at his most talkative, discussing life; society; money; and art. Exemplifying his uncanny ability to predict the next trends in culture and the art industry, Jokel’s access to Warhol provides an intimate portrait with both casual scenes and interview footage, in which he is more carefully focused on being Andy Warhol.
As art critic Harold Rosenberg noted, “the primary creation of Andy Warhol is Andy Warhol himself.” Including lively exchanges with Phillip Johnson and Barbara Rose, and insights from friends, co-workers, star and art-world figures, the documentary gives an unflinching look into Warhol as a person and an artist.
The film has a runtime of 53 minutes.
