Andy Warhol

An immersive theatrical experience inspired by Andy Warhol is coming to NYC

You can already book tickets for 'Chasing Andy Warhol.'

Anna Rahmanan

Months after the Brooklyn Museum debuted its critically acclaimed exhibit focusing on Andy Warhol (it's still going on!), the superstar artist is getting another dedicated show. This time around, it's an immersive experience that will take participants around NYC.

Chasing Andy Warhol is a new theatrical production by Bated Breath Theatre Company—the same folks behind the longest-running pandemic-friendly show Voyeur: The Windows of Toulouse-Lautrec . Tickets for it are already on sale right here .

Whereas Voyeur quite literally turned the West Village into 1899 Paris, Chasing Andy Warhol will use the East Village as its backdrop to transport audiences smack-dab into the middle of the 20th century, when Warhol's influence on the art world fully took shape. The theatrical walking tour will look into Warhol's life and career through the eyes of an art student that is obsessed with him.

The tour kicks off at Astor Place, traverses the Bowery and ends at Von Bar. Throughout it all, expect to be entertained by actors in the middle of the streets, inside secret locations and behind the windows of some of the East Village's most recognized businesses. 

A few more details about each show, which begins previews on March 25 and officially opens on April 7: each "session" can host up to 16 audience members and will last approximately 90 minutes. Shows will run Thursdays to Sundays with time slots available every 45 minutes and ticket holders must be 13 or older to participate in the event.

"There is not a piece of culture that hasn’t been touched by Warhol’s resilience and his ability to sense what the times needed," the production's creator and director Mara Lieberman said to Variety . "It's exciting to move forward with this kind of live theater and to try it with New York really acting as our scene partner." 

As far as immersive cultural experiences go, New York is poised to host a number of great shows in the near future, including one focusing on Gustav Klimt and another one about Oscar-Claude Monet . And who can forget about one of the biggest immersive shows in New York? After a two-year-long hiatus, Sleep No More just re-opened with brand new protocols in place .

immersive theatrical walking tour of andy warhol's life on the streets of new york

Andy warhol fever takes over new york city.

The American artist, film director, and producer Andy Warhol was a leading figure in the 1960s pop art movement. Today, almost three decades after he died, Warhol still maintains an iconic persona worldwide, that inspires an enormous range of people, leaving his stamp on numerous artworks, such as the Campbell’s soup cans and the silkscreen painting of Marilyn Monroe .

a fascinating tour of andy warhol’s favorite haunts

The adventure begins at the Astor place cube in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan and lasts around an hour. Inspired by Warhol’s mysterious life, the street performance by Bated Breath Theater Company offers the audience a bizarre and amusing experience in search of the iconic artist. 

The late artist is revived in giant puppets, while multiple ‘Warhols’ take over the streets. The scenography immerses the audience in the New York City of the 60s, back to an era that popped. A charming combination of theatre, dance, film, art, and puppetry, accompanied by the corresponding props, guides the audience behind windows of area businesses and inside secret locations along the route, telling the idol’s story.

"Chasing Andy Warhol" theatrical walking tour brings story of late icon back to life

By Dave Carlin

March 27, 2022 / 10:17 AM EDT / CBS New York

NEW YORK --  Andy Warhol mania is taking over New York City, with exhibits, a streaming docuseries and new theatrical walking tour called "Chasing Andy Warhol."

As CBS2's Dave Carlin reports, the show incorporates immersive theater, dance, film, art and puppetry to tell the story of an icon. 

It's a spring of flashing back to an era that popped. When the Pop Art of the late, great, one-of-a-kind genius Andy Warhol changed the world. 

He lives again in human and puppet form along East Village streets in the theatrical, intricately choreographed walking tour production about his life. It's a very physical show for the cast and audiences, hitting a total of 16 locations. 

Warhol is played by Jake Malavsky.

"Andy is a little cheeky, and there's something about Andy and the whole conceit of the show is that Andy needs to be chased, and that you can never actually figure out who is Andy is," Malavsky told Carlin. "He has a lot of neurosis and things that hold him up socially and interpersonally, but creatively he's someone that just jumps. And I think I really admire that."

"Using New York and the adventure of it all and the chaos really, it's organized chaos," creator Mara Lieberman said. "You have to find a group of people that have energy for finding excellence in the art and want to push the form just like Andy did, and I found a group of people that are just so excited."

TMPL Gym Astor Place partnered with his production, providing rehearsal space and a key performance space.  

Carlin saw a rehearsal for a scene that featured a key figure in Warhol's creative life, played by Antonia Santangelo.

"I'm going to be playing Edie Sedgewick. She was one of Andy's greatest muses, they were like a dynamic duo," Santangelo said. "She was the star of a lot of his films."

The show gives audience members their own fleeting feelings of fame, as they peer into this window at TMPL Gym.

"A live feed camera, so we turn it towards the audience, the audience gets to see themselves up on the TV. And so Andy is here in the space trying to figure out how to become the icon that he became," said Lieberman. "Where he figures out who am I as an artist?"

"What's been so amazing is with the Netflix documentary and all these awesome resources coming out, it's been the time to dig in about Andy and figure out who is," Malavsky said. 

Previews are underway for "Chasing Andy Warhol," and opening night is April 7th.

CHASING ANDY WARHOL

Immersive theatrical East Village walking tour examines the life & legacy of pop art icon Andy Warhol. March 25 - July 31, 2022

Buy tickets HERE .

"Fun, hugely powerful, and sure to amass a cult following." -- Alexander Fatouros, The Theatre Times

"Brings Warhol’s essence to life...The nebulous term “immersive” may be over-used but it describes this particular experience so well." -- Anna Mikaela Ekstrand, Cultbytes

"A dazzling spectacle that informs, celebrates and causes the viewer truly to wonder what color was Warhol’s soul... After seeing Bated Breath’s production, I am now a big fan." -- William J. Cataldi, Hi! Drama

"Mara Lieberman’s lively, colorful direction offers a surprise around every corner... a delight to behold." -- Joey Sims, Theatrely

CHASING ANDY WARHOL employs Bated Breath’s unique multimedia approach as scenes inspired from Warhol’s enigmatic life unfold on the streets, behind windows of area businesses, and inside secret locations along the route. Despite Warhol’s celebrity and fame, he was also an obscure, mystifying persona who preferred to remain elusive. The show will use a distinct blend of immersive theatre, dance, film, art, and puppetry to peek into the life of the iconic artist. CHASING ANDY WARHOL goes beyond the hype and into the deepest feelings of a profoundly complex person - whose legacy continues to bombard our senses at every turn.

CHASING ANDY WARHOL  follows on the heels of Bated Breath Theatre Company’s award-winning production Voyeur: The Windows of Toulouse-Lautrec, the longest-running pandemic friendly show in New York City. Voyeur turned the West Village into Paris in 1899 and now, in partnership with the Greenwich Village Business Alliance, the NoHo Business Improvement District, and TMPL Clubs at Astor Place, Bated Breath uses the East Village as a set that transports audiences into the world of the most influential artist of the 20th century.  Tickets for  CHASING ANDY WARHOL  are $50.00 and can be purchased on www.chasingandywarhol.com .  There are 16 guests per performance time.

CHASING ANDY WARHOL is created and directed by Mara Lieberman with choreography by Rachel Leigh Dolan, featured choreographer Rachelle Rak, costume design by Christopher F. Metzger, set design by Christian Fleming, Meg McGuigan, Jerry Schiffer, sound and projection design by Mark Van Hare and Experiential Design Consultant is Tara O’Con.

“We created and presented Voyeur at one of the most difficult times to produce theater in history. There were several months when we were the only live theater experience in New York City. It was challenging. And exciting. And maddening. And rewarding. We embraced the city and the city enthusiastically embraced us back, becoming our scene partner. It was magical. And we can't get enough. We are thrilled to be back again, applying what we learned while doing this boundary-breaking artform to explore the life of boundary-breaking artist Andy Warhol,” said Creator and Director Mara Lieberman.

Bated Breath Theatre Company creates immersive, participatory theatre that wakes up the body, resurrects sleeping histories, and electrifies non-traditional theatre spaces. Bated Breath reimagined theatre mid-pandemic and debuted Voyeur: The Windows of Toulouse-Lautrec in October 2020. Inspired by their site-specific hit, Unmaking Toulouse-Lautrec, Voyeur brought the action to the street, making New York City their scene partner as the pandemic forced performances to pause across the board. This new phenomenon gained traction as the longest-running pandemic-friendly theatrical experience in NYC. Voyeur was recently awarded the 2021 BroadwayWorld, Off-Broadway Awards for Best Play, Best New Production, and named Mara Lieberman, Best Director. The Company premiered its interactive art auction play Beneath the Gavel Off-Broadway at 59E59 Theatres in 2017 and has performed the play on a recurring basis at Feinstein’s/54 Below. They’ve performed their award-winning Freedom: In 3 Acts as part of the New Haven Festival of Arts and Ideas and at the New England Museum Association Annual Conference as part of the keynote address. Bated Breath’s short play, The Pride of Christopher Street, was part of the UP CLOSE Festival at the New Ohio Theatre. Bated Breath is also currently working on a new interactive wine tasting play in collaboration with wine journalist Jane Anson. For more information, visit www.batedbreaththeatre.org.

Mara Lieberman has served as Executive Artistic Director, director, and lead writer for all Bated Breath’s shows since she took the helm in 2012, including their award winning, pandemic-friendly hit Voyeur: The Windows of Toulouse-Lautrec, Unmaking Toulouse-Lautrec, Beneath the Gavel, the award-winning Freedom: In 3 Acts, The Pride of Christopher Street (co-written with Jamie Roach), and Wild Things. For Voyeur, Mara was awarded Best Director by Broadway World’s 2021 Off-Broadway Awards and Time Out named Lieberman a “Future Maker” in “50 Amazing People Changing the World.” Additionally, Lieberman has adapted and directed plays at The New York International Fringe Festival, New Haven Festival of Arts & Ideas, New Georges The Room, and HERE’s American Living Room Festival. She also served as assistant to Lloyd Richards at the National Playwright’s Conference. In 2018, Mara was a recipient of an Artistic Excellence Award from the Connecticut Office of the Arts. She earned her BA from Sarah Lawrence College and her Master’s in Performance Studies from Northwestern University.

Bated Breath’s ‘Chasing Andy Warhol’ takes an immersive walk around NYC’s East Village inspired by the Pop icon

The latest street tour presentation by Bated Breath Theatre Company, following its award-winning production of Voyeur: The Windows of Toulouse-Lautrec , is Chasing Andy Warhol , an immersive guided walk, with stops along the way for short vignettes inspired by the iconic Pop artist, performed at various locations around the East Village, from Astor Place to Bleecker Street. The conceptual piece employs a mix of theater, dance, puppetry, art, and film to survey familiar points in the life, work, and rampant criticism of one of the most famous, prescient, and influential artists of the 20 th century, without offering any new information or insights.

andy warhol walking tour nyc

Created and directed by Mara Lieberman, the show, performed by a rotating cast, is framed in the device of a flight on Pop Air, on which the passenger Jess (played by Jmonet Hill on the date I attended) falls asleep while reading a book about Andy Warhol (1928-87), who suddenly appears to her (portrayed in that performance by Jake Malavsky). The flight crashes, he runs off, and the remainder of the time is spent following her following him through a quick sequence of key episodes.

Those range from his childhood passion for movie stars and his affliction with St. Vitus’s Dance, through school, his first gay love, and his early work in commercial design, to his meteoric rise as a progenitor of Pop art and the Superstars who populated his legendary Factory. It concludes with him being shot and nearly killed by one of them, undergoing life-saving surgery, and returning to his international celebrity status as an unsurpassed creator and recorder of popular culture (whose 1964 Shot Sage Blue Marilyn silkscreen portrait of Marilyn Monroe is expected to bring in a sale price of $200 million at Christie’s upcoming auction in May – its highest ever for a 20th-century work).

Along with presenting the well-known and widely cited biographical facts, the show stresses the commonplace contradiction of the “enigma” of Andy and his art, and the vicious assessments of his detractors, calling him a “user,’ “an affront to good taste,” and “a joke with no punchline” for which “we are the punchline.” Again, it’s nothing we haven’t all heard before, and though the character of Jess professes that she’s Warhol’s #1 fan, there’s nothing in the show that defines what makes him and his art so appealing and legendary – so allow me.

andy warhol walking tour nyc

Andy’s work signaled the end of modern art and the beginning of the post-modern period, with its change from non-objective self-expressive abstraction to the popular subjects, objects, and themes that everyone could relate to and recognize. He had the unsurpassed ability to zero-in (without the benefit of historical hindsight) on what characterized our culture, and to capture it for posterity, using the latest techniques and technology. In essence, his Pop art is a brilliantly perceptive visual history of what New York was in the Sixties and how it will be remembered. No mystery there, and nothing warranting critical attack. He also had the uncanny ability to foresee that “In the future, everyone will be world famous for 15 minutes.” The future is now, and Andy was right (with the advent of social media and reality TV). These number among the many momentous reasons why he’s still attracting record prices and why audiences are still coming to a theatrical event about him.

There are witty references throughout the show to Warhol’s iconic images, including the opening plane crash, an actor holding up an empty picture frame centered on a view of the actual Empire State Building, Campbell’s soup cans stacked in a window, the back of a food stand painted to look like a work from the later Oxidation series, and the use of repetition, with a fresh-cut bouquet recalling his multiple silkscreens of Flowers and three actors simultaneously appearing as Andy in his signature silver wigs and sunglasses. But the overall artistic design (with choreography by Rachel Leigh Dolan and featured choreography by Rachelle Rak; costumes by Christopher F. Metzger; set design by Christian Fleming, Meg McGuigan, and Jerry Schiffer; sound and projection by Mark Van Hare; lighting by Joyce Liao; puppetry by Evolve Puppets; and Tara O’Con serving as Experiential Design Consultant) offers but a scrappy superficial version of the look and style of the period.

andy warhol walking tour nyc

And the cast (the complete ensemble, in addition to Hill and Malavsky, features Mitchell Ashe, Kat Berton, Grayson Bradshaw, Mariah Busk, Alysa Finnegan, Teal French-Levine, Youran Lee, Taylor McKenzie, Marisa Melito, Kayla Prestel, Brandon P. Raines, Annika Rudolph, Alessandra Ruiz, Antonia Santangelo, Kyle Starling, Fé Torres, Luca Villa, and Katherine Winter) generally fails to deliver the authentic voices and demeanors of the real-life figures (the Andy I knew was much more soft-spoken and less physically aggressive than portrayed, and Edie had a very distinctive accent and bearing that are absent from her characterization here), which are preserved and readily accessible in countless photos, films, and interviews.

While Bated Breath’s interest in exploring the life and art of Andy Warhol is commendable, Chasing Andy Warhol doesn’t accurately capture, or offer any further enlightenment about, who he was, the significance of his art, or why his fame is never-ending.

Running Time: Approximately 65 minutes, without intermission.

Chasing Andy Warhol plays Sundays through August 21, 2022, at Bated Breath Theatre Company, performing at Astor Place and locations through the East Village, NYC. For tickets (priced at $80), go online . Be prepared to scan and to sign an online waiver upon arrival. Everyone must also present a photo ID and proof of vaccination. Masks are not required for outdoors but are encouraged for the indoor portion of the show.

‘Chasing Andy Warhol’ commemorates the late artist's life in New York City

by STIRworld Published on : Apr 29, 2022

We could make it a 10-pointer on why Andy Warhol is the biggest icon of the 20 th century, but there’s a walking tour that is engaging the people in New York with Andy Warhol’s life. A single person who legitimately stirred the art scene in America during his lifetime and continues to do so in 2022 as well, Andy Warhol, the leading American artist , film director, and producer. Warhol changed the meaning of art and controversially blurred the distinctions between fine art and popular aesthetics. Based on Warhol’s life, an immersive walking tour production - Chasing Andy Warhol - opens at Astor Place in the East Village. It follows on the heels of Bated Breath Theatre Company’s award-winning production Voyeur: The Windows of Toulouse-Lautrec , the longest-running pandemic friendly show in New York City.

The theatrical walking tour production will employ Bated Breath’s unique multimedia approach as scenes inspired by Warhol’s enigmatic life unfold on the streets, behind windows of area businesses, and inside secret locations along the route. Despite Warhol’s celebrity and fame, he was also an obscure, mystifying persona who preferred to remain elusive. The show will use a distinct blend of immersive theatre , dance, film , art , and puppetry to peek into the life of the iconic artist. Chasing Andy Warhol goes beyond the hype and into the deepest feelings of a profoundly complex person - whose legacy continues to bombard our senses at every turn.

The executive artistic director, Marie Lieberman stated that they are thrilled to be back again, applying what they learned while doing this boundary-breaking artform to explore the life of boundary-breaking artist Andy Warhol.

Warhol’s work marked the end of modern art and the beginning of the postmodern period by shifting from non-objective self-expressive abstraction to popular subjects, objects, and themes that everyone could relate to and recognise. He had an unrivalled ability to pinpoint what defined our culture and preserve it for posterity through the use of cutting-edge techniques and technology. In essence, his pop art is a brilliantly perceptive visual history of 1960s New York and how it will be remembered in the future.

Warhol had an uncanny knack for predicting that "in the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." And surprisingly, it holds true in today’s technology-driven world. Everyone’s a click away from fame, thanks to social media , but given Warhol’s success even after his demise, we can certainly conclude that there will always be one Andy Warhol.

Manhattan as Warhol Knew It

By Jan Hoffman

  • Aug. 3, 2011

ON this summer afternoon, the Andy Warhol’s New York City Tour does not begin at any location where the artist lived, worked or partied. Instead, it starts at 1060 Park Avenue.

That is where Truman Capote was living with his mother in 1952, and where a young worshipper from Pittsburgh, Andy Warhol, could once be spotted, standing outside.

“Capote was an overnight sensation,” said Thomas Kiedrowski, the tour guide. “Andy Warhol was thinking, ‘This guy has my life.’ So Andy did what he could to be friends with Capote. He sent him postcards. He became friends with Capote’s mother. I could just see Warhol lingering here, waiting to meet him.”

To say that Mr. Kiedrowski has a passion for all things Warhol would be an understatement. Bald and beaming, he owns close to 175 books about the artist, who would have turned 83 on Saturday. He has just published his own addition to the pile: “Andy Warhol’s New York City: Four Walks, Uptown to Downtown.” Vito Giallo, who ran an antiques store frequented by Warhol, contributed illustrations.

The pocket guide is almost as sweet and earnest as Mr. Kiedrowski himself, who, since 2004, has studied phone books from the early 1960s to pinpoint addresses in Warhol’s life, immersed himself in the history of those buildings and befriended aging Warholites.

“They have become family to me,” said Mr. Kiedrowski, who is 37 but seems a decade younger. His meticulous guide reimagines Manhattan as Andy Land.

“Thomas has dedicated his life to finding out arcane facts about Warhol,” said Eric Shiner, director of the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. “He does a very good job of getting to the bottom of mysteries. I love to see the architectural side of Andy articulated.”

Mr. Kiedrowski stood in front of 1342 Lexington Avenue at 89th, an 1889 Northern Renaissance row-house where Warhol lived from 1960 to 1974, much of that time, like Mr. Capote, with his mother.

“It was just sold again,” Mr. Kiedrowski said. “A few weeks ago the Realtor was going in and I happened to be here. I said, ‘Could you? Could you?’ And he said, ‘Sure!’ I was so excited.”

Although Warhol died at age 58 in 1987, celebrations of his myth-making life as a Pop artist, filmmaker, magazine publisher, music entrepreneur, shopper, scene maker and gossip keep surging. Mr. Shiner said the museum will send exhibits to Singapore, Istanbul and Mexico City. “Pop!” a musical about Warhol, played in Washington this summer. Mr. Kiedrowski, who receives about two dozen tour requests a year (warholtour.com), took one Australian fan on a tour that lasted six hours.

Warhol has been a spiritual light for Mr. Kiedrowski since he was a teenager in a blue-collar family just outside of Milwaukee.

“I was a little lonely and I didn’t know I was gay till the end of high school,” he said. An indifferent student, he thought he would become a factory worker. Then he read David Bourdon’s 1989 biography of Warhol.

“He was poor and he showed that if you worked hard, you could make something of your life,” Mr. Kiedrowski said of the artist. “And he was a loner who learned to get out of his shell, like me.”

After high school, Mr. Kiedrowski followed a boyfriend to Alabama, where he worked in a sock mill. Eventually he returned to Milwaukee, where he graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, majoring in film production. He worked as a go-fer for a C-minus list Hollywood couple. When that position crumbled, he moved to New York, in 2002.

Mr. Kiedrowski found work at companies that produced Web sites. At first, he had few acquaintances. But he kept Victor Bockris’s 1989 biography of Warhol on his office desk. He became an Andy-didact, reading about society and art in New York during the Warhol decades. No Warhol film was too eye-glazing for him.

“I watched ‘Empire,’ ” he said. “It’s eight hours and five minutes. It went by faster than you’d think.”

Although “fact” and “truth” were plastic toys to Warhol, Mr. Kiedrowski yearned for precision. “I didn’t have enough information about the Silver Factory,” he said, referring to the first of Warhol’s “factory” spaces, which was razed in 1969. “Where was it? How old is the building? I needed to find out.”

He spent Saturdays in the library. “It had a photo!” he said. “It’s amazing: 231 East 47th Street, fourth floor. The Holy Grail. That’s where he had his ‘50 Most Beautiful People Party,’ where Edie Sedgwick became a star, and so did the Brillo boxes.”

When the Web site company folded two years ago, he collected unemployment and more Warholiana. A fellow Warholite suggested he offer tours. Another prodded him to approach the Little Bookroom, which publishes guides. He was astonished when the company welcomed him, as if Warhol were rewarding him for his hard work.

The tour continued. He stopped at churches where Warhol prayed regularly, paused at his prime address at 57 East 66th Street (completed April 30, 1902, notes his book) and headed downtown, spending a reverent moment before 213 Park Avenue South, which used to be Max’s Kansas City, the famous club.

Mr. Kiedrowski arrived at the temporary Andy Monument in Union Square. Tourists gawked at the chrome statue by Robert Pruitt of Warhol carrying a Bloomingdale’s Medium Brown Bag. “Is that Andy from ‘Toy Story’?” a woman asked.

How would Mr. Kiedrowski celebrate Warhol’s birthday this Saturday? A party with elderly Warholites had already been held Tuesday evening.

“I’d love to do a tour with people wearing Warhol wigs and glasses,” Mr. Kiedrowski promptly replied, looking radiant. “All these Warhols walking around the city? It would be fantastic!”

An article on Aug. 4 about Thomas Kiedrowski, who conducts Andy Warhol-themed tours of New York City, omitted part of the name of his alma mater. It is the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, one of 13 universities in the University of Wisconsin system; it is not the “University of Wisconsin.”

An Andy Warhol Travel Guide To New York City

Chelsea Hotel in Snow

Art & Design Editor

He may have hailed from Pittsburgh, but no one is more synonymous with New York City than the late, great Andy Warhol. He moved to New York in 1949 and took the city by storm as one of the foremost leaders of the Pop Art movement, an avant-garde filmmaker, writer, and ultra-socialite. Experience New York City in Warhol-like technicolor by visiting the artist’s local haunts.

Warhol’s studios.

Before The Factory

Housed on the second floor of the Hook and Ladder Company firehouse, Andy Warhol’s first non-residential studio was located on 87th Street and Lexington Avenue – just two blocks away from his apartment at 1342 Lexington Avenue between 89th and 90th. For only $150 a month, Warhol leased the space from 1962 to 1963. The building, which has since been used as storage space, was reportedly sold for nearly $10 million in 2016.

The Factory*

Warhol’s artistic acclaim and avant-garde aesthetic placed him at the center of the cultural universe. Widely referred to as “ The Factory ,” Andy Warhol’s subsequent studios were far more than working spaces – they were amongst the most proficient and culturally-relevant points of interest in New York City. While the location changed several times over the course of his career, The Factory continued to serve as an artistic and social epicenter for Warhol and his celebrity friends. Factory gatherings fostered the formation of legendary cult rock group The Velvet Underground, raised Warhol’s muse, Edie Sedgwick , to cinematic stardom, and were frequented by pop culture icons such as Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, and Salvador Dalí .

* Factory l ocations are pinned on a map below .

Local Hangouts

The Chelsea Hotel

This 19th century landmark building boasts an astounding list of former patrons and residents, and needless to say, saw many a scandal and overdose in its historic rooms. Andy Warhol frequented this buzzing locale with his “ superstars ” in its heyday, profiling their lifestyle in his 1966 film Chelsea Girls . The hotel is now closed, but the building still stands.

222 West 23rd Street, New York, NY, USA

“Chelsea Hotel in Snow”

An icon of New York City nightlife until its doors closed in 1986, Studio 54 was a hotspot for Warhol and his entourage. The club is no longer in operation as it was, but Warhol fans can still visit the building, which now houses the Roundabout Theatre Company .

Max’s Kansas City

Another star-studded nightclub that closed in 1981, Warhol proclaimed that “Max’s Kansas City was the exact spot where Pop Art and Pop life came together in the sixties.” A popular gathering point for major artists like Robert Rauschenberg and John Chamberlain, the regular clientele drew creative masses. The Velvet Underground regularly performed at the Gramercy Park venue, which became central to the glam rock scene of the 1960s and 70s.

The Velvet Underground

Jefferson Market Garden From 1931 until 1971, the Women’s House of Detention stood in Greenwich Village. A notable inmate was Valerie Solanas – the woman who attempted Andy Warhol’s murder in June of 1968. The radical feminist and diagnosed schizophrenic entered The Factory and shot Warhol three times, accusing him of stealing her written work. Injured by the third shot, Warhol survived – but the event undoubtedly influenced his subsequent demeanor. The prison that held Solanas was eventually closed and a community garden, the Jefferson Market Garden, was planted in its stead. While Warhol lived in fear of Solanas after the attack, he frequented the site in the 80s before his death. The garden still stands today, open from the spring through the fall.

Serendipity 3

Considered “New York’s first coffee house boutique,” Serendipity 3 was one of Andy Warhol’s favorite eateries before he rose to stardom. Known for its charming décor and decadent sweets, the café opened in 1954 and remains a beloved dining destination in Manhattan. Warhol was a frequent patron at the beginning of his career, and supposedly paid his bills in drawings according to Serendipity’s website.

Landmarks & Icons

The Empire State Building

Empire was a film that Warhol directed and produced in the summer of 1964. The film runs for over eight hours, showcasing continuous footage of the Empire State Building in slow motion. It begins at sunset with the building emerging from a white screen and ends in blackness just before 3am. At the time of its release it was impossible to find a shortened version of the film; but its impracticality was an integral part of the art form. The film is purposefully tedious, forcing the viewer to question the nature of film, art, and observation.

The New York Academy of Art

Located in Tribeca, the New York Academy of Art is a private art school founded in part by Andy Warhol in 1980. The school’s mission is to support the study of figurative art through classical education, operating on the basis that intensive training is the best means for a contemporary artist to realize their unique aesthetic. Despite Warhol’s outwardly unconventional approach to his craft, he worked to promote the ‘classical art background.’

The Church of St. Vincent Ferrer

Located on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer is where Warhol frequently attended Mass in the 1960s and 70s. Warhol remained a devout Catholic throughout his life, regularly attending services but supposedly declining to participate in religious rituals such as taking confession. Once he became a known cultural figure, Warhol aimed to keep his presence at church quiet for fear of being recognized, and perhaps due, in part, to the conflict of his homosexuality.

The Museum of Modern Art

While Warhol’s artworks can be found in special exhibitions around the world, the Museum of Modern Art houses some of the artist’s most iconic works in their permanent collection, including Campbell’s Soup Cans (1962), Double Elvis (1963), and Gold Marilyn Monroe (1961).

From his 1963 Orange Disaster #5 to Flowers (1964) and Self-Portrait in Drag (1981), New York City’s Guggenheim Museum claims an impressive collection of Andy Warhol’s paintings, silkscreens, and photographs.
