"Warhol not only looks original, but surprisingly contemporary, like the most influential artist of the last few decades. He looks like he deserves his own museum."
In June 1968 Voice reporter Howard Smith was on the scene as Warhol fought for his life. Three months later the pop master told film critic Leticia Kent, ‘I am afraid of God alone.’
