Velvet Underground Nico
Performed Painting Person Andy Warhol
The American artist and filmmaker Andy Warhol was born Andrew Warhola in 1928. There has for years been quite a bit of confusion to where and when Andy Warhol was born, but according to Andy’s two older brothers and the birth certificate that was filed in Pittsburgh in 1945, he was born on August 6th in Pittsburgh. Whether or not this is the day he was born hasn’t been proved, but it was on this date he would celebrate his birthday.
Andy Warhol is considered a founder and major figure of the POP ART movement. A graduate of the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1949, he moved to New York City and gained success as a commercial artist. He got his first break in August 1949, when Glamour Magazine wanted him to illustrate a feature entitled “Success is a Job in New York”. He continued doing ads and illustrations and by 1955 he was the most successful and imitated commercial artist in New York. In 1960 he produced the first of his paintings depicting enlarged comic strip images such as Popeye and Superman initially for use in a window display. Warhol pioneered the development of the process whereby an enlarged photographic image is transferred to a silk screen that is then placed on a canvas and inked from the back. It was this technique that enabled him to produce the series of mass media images repetitive, yet with slight variations that he began in 1962. These, incorporating such items as Campbell’s Soup cans, dollar bills, CocaCola bottles, and the faces of celebrities, can be taken as comments on the banality, harshness, and ambiguity of American culture.
Later in the 1960s, Warhol made a series of experimental films dealing with such ideas as time, boredom, and repetition; they include Sleep (1963), Empire (1964), and The Chelsea Girls (1966). In 1965 he started working with a rockband called “The Velvet Underground” formed by Lou Reed and John Cale. Andy Warhol introduced them to the model and moviestar Nico and she sang on their debut album from 1967 “The Velvet Underground and Nico”. Andy would travel around the country, not only with The Velvets, but also with superstar of the year Edie Sedgwick and the lightshow “The Exploding Plastic Inevitable”.
Andy Warhol was the true master of Pop Art. The former commercial artist used popular culture as the source for his thought provoking works. Andy Warhol sought the truth in the labels spread al over the world by the mass media. From his legendary ‘Campbell’s Soup’ can to his many portraits: Warhol was a challenging genius who turned the ordinary into the extraordinary. Andy Warhol’s paintings are available here.

Velvet Underground $2.41 Released in 1969 to an almost total lack of critical acclaim or consumer interest, the Velvet Underground’s third album may well be the finest record of the band’s career. Without the sonic terrorism of The Velvet Underground & Nico and White Light/White Heat or the ill-conceived commercial concessions that marred Loaded, the album’s songs are free to stand on their own merit. And stand they do: “… |

White Light White Heat $2.35 Nothing in their debut could really have prepared fans for the sonic assault the Velvets unleashed in White Light/White Heat. Freed from Andy Warhol’s patronage (and Nico’s vocals), Lou Reed and company strip production values to a minimum and turn out a primitive rock & roll masterpiece: everything on this record sounds distorted and abrasive. Depending on how you feel about these sorts of things… |

Rarities Edition: The Velvet Underground & Nico $9.28 The Rarities Edition of The Velvet Underground & Nico contains the second disc from the 2002 double-disc Deluxe Edition of the classic 1967 album. This means that it’s essentially the mono mix of the album — along with single versions of “All Tomorrow’s Parties,” “Sunday Morning,” and “Femme Fatale,” plus an alternate take of “I’ll Be Your Mirror” — and contains none of the five songs from Nico’s Chelsea Girl that adorned the first disc of the Deluxe Edition. For the hardcore, this is a nice way to get the mono version of the album without plunking down for a double-disc set. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi Performers: Nico – Chanteuse; John Cale – Viola (Electric), Celeste, Vocals (Background), Piano, Guitar (Bass); Sterling Morrison – Vocals (Background), Guitar (Rhythm), Guitar (Bass); Lou Reed – Guitar, Vocals; Maureen Tucker – Percussion |

Nico: An Underground Experience & Heroine $22.06 For a first rate documentary on the mysterious former Velvet Underground chanteuse Nico, the 1995 film Nico Icon is highly recommended, but to experience her dark and unsettling stage work, go directly to the 2000 DVD An Underground Experience + Heroine. As the title suggests, the set collects two separate Nico home videos on a single DVD, both concerts filmed in the early ’80s. An Underground Experience captures Nico backed by a punk band at a small club, performing such Velvet classics as I’m Waiting for the Man and Femme Fatale, as well as a cover of David Bowie’s Heroes, mixed in with original material. Heroine is an acoustic performance recorded at Manchester’s Library Theatre, and features a haunting a cappella version of All Tomorrow’s Parties. Bonus material includes a complete discography and biography, as well as unseen interview footage. ~ All Movie Guide |
