Sky Arte to Air Andy Warhol Documentary with Rare Archival Footage
Sky Arte will broadcast 'Andy Warhol – Un ritratto' on Sunday, July 11, featuring rare archival images and interviews with the artist. The documentary draws from an episode of 'The South Bank Show' hosted by Melvyn Bragg (1978–2010), which aimed to introduce contemporary artists to a broad audience. In the program, Warhol is quoted saying he never expected to be on 'Saturday Night Live' because he dislikes such shows and is never home on Saturday nights. The film also highlights Warhol's Factory. Sky Arte's website is powered by Artribune, which manages its content and digital interface. The channel is Italy's first HD cultural television network.
