PHILOSOPHY FOR THE 21st CENTURY: RELIGION

I never trust atheists or deeply religious people. But I always trust people with a deep awareness of all the past religions people no longer believe in. They always have the right attitude towards religions.

WOMAN IN REVOLT

«Now I feel that exclusive lesbianism is a dead end. It is childish. Women should  be bisexual not merely lesbian. Where are the great achievements of lesbian art, of lesbian film? You find 45-50 year old lesbian with childish notion about men.....They define everything as patriarchy. They created a ghetto for themselves. I think this is a disaster for young women.»

ANDY WARHOL & STEVE JOBS

Warhol took Sean's spot in front of the computer, and Jobs showed him how to maneuver the mouse. Warhol didn't get it; he lifted and waved the mouse as if it were a conductor's baton. Jobs gently explained that th mouse worked when it was pushed along a surface. Warhol kept lifting it until Jobs placed his hand on Warhol's and guided it along the floor. Finally Warhol began drawing, staring at the «pencil» as it drew on the screen

KARL LAGERFELD SUR ANDY WARHOL

Karl Lagerfeld a confié dans Le Figaro Madame qu'il n'avait rien à voir avec Warhol, même s'il reconnaît son talent. « [Etre comparé à Warhol] Ça ne me plaît pas du tout. Mes cheveux sont à moi pour commencer ! Je l'ai connu, j'ai même tourné pour lui, il était très gentil mais pas drôle du tout, un pousse-au-crime, un voyeur épouvantable. J'admire ce qu'il a fait, il est devenu le roi de la pop culture alors qu'il était un dessinateur de mode très moyen, mais je n'ai rien à voir avec lui, rien », déclare le styliste dans Le Figaro Madame.

PHILOSOPHY FOR THE 21st CENTURY: INSATISFACTION

Dans notre 21unième siècle de médias omniprésents la nature du sentiment de permanente insatisfaction
tient de plus en plus au fait de ressentir toujours inconsciemment, mais de plus en plus fortement, la déception de ne pas avoir le don d'ubiquité.

BEACH BODY

CHARLES SAATCHI ET LE JEU DES PRÉDICTIONS

Lorsque Charles Saatchi dit que les livres d'histoire de l'art en 2100 ne retiendront essentiellement que Warhol, Judd, Pollock et Hirst , c'est un peu comme se payer le luxe de pouvoir se tromper sans que cela n'affecte jamais en rien sa crédibilité. Version analyste financier faisant des prédictions à Wall Street en quelque sorte.

«I'M A GOOD CATHOLIC»

The glittering New York crowd that Andy Warhol loved paid tribute to him yesterday at one of his favorite New York places. More than 2,000 people crowded into St. Patrick's Cathedral for a memorial mass honoring the late artist.
They came from the worlds of art, fashion, society and entertainment, and some of their names were among the world's most droppable - Halston, Liza Minnelli, Ann Bass, Klaus von Bulow, Claes Oldenburg, Grace Jones, Richard Gere and Prince and Princess Michael of Greece.In an altar banked with tulips and forsythia, the Rev. Anthony Dalla Villa, the celebrant, eulogized Mr. Warhol, who died Feb. 22 after a gall-bladder operation, as ''a simple, humble, modest person, a child of God who in his own life cherished others.''

Father Dalla Villa said that Mr. Warhol was able to ''take the very simple and ordinary objects of life and make them truly extraordinary.'' He added, ''He was the Christian gentle man, the Christian gentleman.'' 'Fooled the World'
The service emphasized Mr. Warhol's sprituality and passion for his Catholic religion. The Rev. C. Hugh Hildesley, pastor of the Church of the Heavenly Rest, wrote a tribute in the program that described how Mr. Warhol habitually spent Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter at the church, serving food to the homeless. John Richardson, the art historian and critic, said Mr. Warhol had ''fooled the world into believing that his only obsessions were money, fame and glamor, and that he was cool to the point of callousness.'' But he was, in fact, ''more of a recording angel,'' Mr. Richardson said. ''The distance he established between the world and himself was above all a matter of innocence and of art.''

MARCEL DUCHAMP ON HIS READY MADE

«But you see, when I did produce things like that, it was not with the idea of producing thousands of them. It was really to get out of the exchangeability, I mean the monetization one might say, of the work of art. I never intended to sell my readymades. So it was really a gesture to show that one could do something without having, in the back of your head, the idea of making money through it».
