Andy Warhol
When it comes to Andy Warhol and his legendary factory workers, it’s easy to get swept up in the glitz and glamour of it all. But let’s not forget that behind the scenes, things weren’t always as fabulous as they seemed. It’s disappointing to hear that most of Warhol’s workers were overworked and underpaid.
Especially considering how much credit he received for their work. And the fact that he claimed to pay them in newfound fame just adds insult to injury. It’s a reminder that the art world, like any industry, can be cutthroat and exploitative, and we need to be mindful of that when we’re idolizing certain figures.
