* re. Andy Warhol death
The front page is one of the more famous in the history of the Village Voice: "IS GOD DEAD ? relating to the death of pop culture icon Andy Warhol.
After Warhol exhibited his work in several galleries in the late 1950s, he began to receive recognition as an influential and controversial artist. His New York studio, The Factory, became a well-known gathering place that brought together distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights, Bohemian street people, Hollywood celebrities, and wealthy patrons. He promoted a collection of personalities known as Warhol superstars, and is credited with inspiring the widely used expression "15 minutes of fame".
In addition to the front page, this issue features a 12 page insert with pictures and articles about Warhol by Gary Indiana, Gerard Malanga, and the great Barbara Kruger.
