An examination of some of rock'n'roll's most iconic figures—The
Velvet Underground & Andy Warhol—and the loaded push-pull
relationship that distorted their lives and echoed throughout
popular culture. Many cultural critics would agree that Andy Warhol
gave the Velvet Underground their break simply by bringing them
under his wing. While they reached a certain level of notoriety and
local celebrity in their time and have since acquired a lasting
cult following, their success was in large part fostered by
Warhol’s patronage. But at the time, this relationship was
muddied by a certain level of codependence and an insatiable
appetite for fame and irony, leaving Reed to ponder quietly: Would
we have succeeded without Warhol's help? This doubt begins to
spread like a malignant force, eventually leading to the band’s
undoing as they break away from Warhol and, perhaps, give up their
golden ticket to success. Explore the story behind the
group The New York Times called "arguably the most
influential American rock band of our time," through good times and
bad, as captured in emotive style by multi-award winning artist
Koren Shadmi (Twilight Man, Love Addict: Confessions of a
Serial Dater).Â
