New Warhols not so Dandy
Few touring rock bands, if any, love the job perk of being adored more than The Dandy Warhols. Luckily for them, there was plenty of adoration to go around during the band's eclectic set from the not-quite-sold-out crowd at the Vic Friday night.

New exhibit in Montreal explores the role of music in Andy Warhol's art
MONTREAL - From Studio 54 to Shirley Temple and The Velvet Underground, a new exhibit at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts explores the role of music and dance in Andy Warhol's art.
Stephane Aquin, curator of contemporary art at the museum, said Tuesday no show has yet explored the musical dimension to the pop artist's work.
"Warhol, the painter, sculptor, illustrator, television producer, filmmaker, photographer, the list goes on," he said at a media preview of the exhibit, which will run from t
From Andy to Kiki: “21” @ Brooklyn Museum
The Brooklyn Museum's "21" exhibition may come off as a bit of a misnomer to those unaware of the PBS art documentary series Art:21's role in the extended exhibition, as it features over 40 pieces in a newly renovated area. There's no elaborate theme or installation at play here. Rather, "21" is a collection of contemporary paintings ranging from established vets like Andy Warhol to more current work by artists including Mickalene Thomas and Kiki Smith. And as it isn't closing anytime soon, fans can peruse

Damien Hirst Knock-Off Dazzles, Cheaply
Can't get your art-school girlfriend into an artsy after-hours party this season? Get her a Damien Hirst knock-off instead! The replica of this overpriced piece of Hirstian genius goes for about a $100 million less than the original's asking price. Though the $25 streamlining of "For the Love of God" is sure to send Hirst into a hissyfit, it's the type of commercialism that would have Andy Warhol giddy with joy. Splash out an extra $4.25, and you can get yours in an adorable gift-box.
Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other Rooms.
"I grew up in a working-class family, which owned no art and few books." James Benning (yes, that James Benning), blogging for the Wexner Center for the Arts, where Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other Rooms is on view through February 15: "My main interest then was Number Theory, a field in mathematics driven only by intellectual curiosity with little connection to the realities of science: for example, there is no practical value to the prime numbers. So when Warhol presented the art world with Brillo boxes,
Tom Freston Takes Warhol's Old East Side Place Off the Market
Former Viacom chief executive Tom Freston has apparently taken his townhouse at 57 East 66th Street off the market, according to the Wall Street Journal. He had listed the former Andy Warhol home in the spring for $38.5 million, only to chop that asking price to $35 million.
Mr. Freston, according to a 2000 Observer article, bought the neoclassical townhouse for $6.5 million, moving there from a Tribeca penthouse after about $100,000 worth of renovations.
Warhol lived in the townhouse from 1974 (after pa

Warhols not so Dandy these days
The Dandy Warhols are contrary by nature – they pretend to be, anyway – so fans learned early on to expect a few musical bumps along the road to a vague but greater artistic good.
We're now at three patchy albums in a row, though, with the muddled new Earth to The Dandy Warhols surpassing the impressive standards of jokey self-indulgence set by Odditorium or Warlords of Mars. Suddenly, it's not clear whether The Dandy Warhols themselves are even taking this thing seriously any more.
