In the summer of 1985, Warhol was given his first Amiga 1000 home computer by Commodore International and enthusiastically signed on with the company as a brand ambassador. For their launch, Commodore planned a theatrical performance, which featured Warhol onstage at Lincoln Center with rock ’n’ roll icon and lead singer of Blondie, Debbie Harry. In front of a live audience, Warhol used the new computer software ProPaint to create a portrait of Harry. He later made a series of digital drawings including a Campbell’s soup can, Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, and flowers. The video of the launch performance and these early computer-based artworks are a testament to Warhol’s engagement with and embrace of new technology.

of seeing her with the band a few years ago at The Ravinia, she still rocks the stage in her 70's! I was so child-like, I bought as much merch as I could carry.

Lover her.
