He rose from an immigrant family in Pittsburgh to become the trail-blazing leader of the 1960’s pop art movement. Andy Warhol was on the cutting edge of everything – from painting to film, from sculpture to music – and images like his famed Campbell’s Soup Can helped define American popular culture. Yet even as a superstar, he remained an enigmatic and controversial figure. On February 22, 1987 the most famous living artist died unexpectedly in a New York hospital, at the age of 58. Now renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Hunter is reopening the case into Andy Warhol’s mysterious death. Next week… “Taxi” star, Jeff Conaway. Dr. Hunter reveals what killed the famed sitcom actor. We’ll drop a new Autopsy podcast every Wednesday.

Andy Warhol is one of the most influential artists from the 20th century and was a leader in the mid-century Pop Art movement. He blurred the lines of commercial and fine art and completely redefined how we see art in today's modern world. Craft Hangout was lucky to score a hang with Nicole Dezelon from The Andy Warhol Museum. She generously shared insight on Warhol's life, art, legacy and the inside scoop on his processes. She also described cool details about the museum's incredible education department. This episode is chock full of inspo, so we hope you enjoy it! (P.S. Who wants to take a trip with us to The Andy Warhol Museum when social distancing is lifted???)

Tony Zanetta - talking Andy Warhol, David Bowie, Pork & much much more

Tony Zanetta is a foundational gure in the history of 1960s and ’70s underground New York and London, and thereafter a secret in uence on all the androgyny in punk and rock music, the radical queerness in theater, the marrying of camp and pomp on stage and in lm... all the multifarious worlds that sprang up—and that continue to do so— lled with inspiration from those heady times. Zanetta was an actor in the off-off-Broadway movement that gained full force in the radical theater of the Play-House of the Ridiculous and Company One (Through Seven). He was present as the habitués of the original Silver Factory speed-rapped at Max’s Kansas City. Later, he saw the nascent punk scene taking form at the Mercer Arts Center. He starred as the man himself in Andy Warhol’s 1971 play Pork, a New York sensation that traveled to London, where it was digested whole by Hunky Dory–era David Bowie. Soon, Zanetta found himself tour-managing Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust global tour. As Bowie and Zanetta became con dants, he and other Pork stars formed the nucleus of MainMan, the production company whose clients included Bowie, Iggy Pop, Dana Gillespie, and Mott the Hoople.

The conversation below is excerpted from a larger body of interviews between Zanetta and the writer Steve Lafreniere. Here, Steve and Tony talk at length about the through line of New York underground theater, the bisexual chic of Bowie and the New York Dolls, and the radical queens of days gone by.

Does your major mean anything? The answer is no, and especially not when an opportunity to work with Andy Warhol presents itself. At 22 years old, Marc Balet won the Prix de Rome in architecture and was offered a solo show at the Whitney Museum of Art. But despite his exceptional talent, Marc had no interest in being an architect. Clueless as to what he wanted to do, he couldn't find a job. Through a fortuitous meeting in Rome, Marc befriended the renowned writer, Fran Lebowitz, who pushed Marc to ask Andy Warhol if he could be the art director at Interview magazine. Andy said yes, and the rest, as they say, is history. From working at the Factory to launching the careers of some of the most significant fashion talents in the world, you'll hear the incredible stories of a time gone by. This episode is like going back in time in the most magical way. You will feel what it was like to be a creative under the Father of Pop Art. You'll learn why listening is the key to great work, how nothing beats in-person presentation, and why you need to deliver on what you say you will.
