Netflix’s ‘Andy Warhol Diaries’ Series Offers Intimate View of an Artist Known for Obfuscation

March 10, 2022

‘The Andy Warhol Diaries,’ a new six-part documentary series offering an intimate portrait of the artist based on his posthumous 1987 memoir, premieres today on Netflix. The series, produced by Ryan Murphy, the mind behind ‘Glee,’ ‘Nip/Tick,’ ‘American Horror Story,’ and more, and directed by Andrew Rossi, known for acclaimed documentaries like ‘Page One: Inside the New York Times,’ has courted controversy by creating a simulation of the Pop artist’s voice for AI-generated narration, with the permission of the Andy Warhol Foundation. The documentary treatment explores highs and lows of Warhol’s life, from his childhood in Pittsburgh and his ascent to New York stardom to his untimely death at the age of 58. “Never take Andy at his face value," said art historian John Richardson in one episode of the series.
