THE ART OF STUDIED PASSIVITY

«In the later 1960's Warhol turned more and more to the making of films where his principle of monotonous repetition becomes hypnotic in its effect and to the promotion of the rock band The Velvet Underground. At the same time he increasingly made himself and his entourage the subject of his art. Equipped with his famous silver sprayed wig and an attitude of studied passivity Warhol achieved cult status in New York».
