Is there a reason why Lilly doesn’t own a single film by Andy Warhol?! I am flabbergasted. I would like to show them for my class this fall – Art History 177C, “Avant-garde art from the 1960s to the 1980s.” I would suggest aquiring Sleep, Lonesome Cowboys, Chelsea Girls, or Trash, for starters.
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: Your suggestion (and the holdings gap you “popped” up with) are going to the resource specialist for film & video. (It is always a good idea to send the request directly to the powers that be–see the RESOURCE SPECIALISTS AND LIBRARY LIAISONS” page at http://www.lib.duke.edu/services/resource.htm). Whatever you, I hope you don’t watch the films too many times, because, as Andy said, “. . . if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.”
By the way, have I, Answer Person, already had my 15 minutes of fame?
