I Am a Deeply Superficial Person. -A.Warhol

Yesterday I had the pleasure to go see the exquisite Marilyn Monroe exhibit at the Andy Warhol Museum. I happen to love Andy and love to go to his museum ofter. But there are others that happen to dislike Andy's work and have no desire to drift into the imaginative world that is Andy Warhol's. This trip, I went with my father and is was absolutely exquisite. My father going mainly for the Marilyn exhibit, but did actually find other works that he did enjoy in the museum. This blog will take you, as best as I could, inside the exhibit and throughout the museum. The photos are poorly taken since no photography is allowed, I snuck a bunch with my iPhone since I am not one to follow the rules. Enjoy!

Death means a lot of money, honey. Death can really make you look like a star.-A.Warhol

If I'd observed all the rules, I would have never gotten anywhere.-M.Monroe


A sex symbol becomes a thing. I just hate to be a thing.-M.Monroe


Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?-A.Warhol


Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday Mr President
Happy birthday to you
Thanks, Mr President
For all the things you've done
The battles that you've won
The way you deal with U.S. Steel
And our problems by the ton
We thank you so much
Everybody, happy birthday -M.Monroe, 1962


Sex is part of nature. I go along with nature.-M.Monroe


What do I wear to bed? Why, Chanel No. 5 of course.-M.Monroe


There was my name up in lights. I said, 'God, somebody's made a mistake.' But there it was, in lights. And I sat there and said, 'Remember, you're not a star.' Yet there it was up in lights.-M.Monroe


In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes. I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is, "In fifteen minutes everybody will be famous.-A.Warhol


What I was actually trying to do in my early movies was show how people can meet other people and what they can do and what they can say to each other.-A.Warhol


Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.-M.Monroe


If I'm a star, then the people made me a star.M.Monroe


Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, "So what." That's one of my favorite things to say. "So what."-A.Warhol


I love Los Angeles. I love Hollywood. They're beautiful. Everybody's plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic.-A.Warhol

Death means a lot of money, honey. Death can really make you look like a star.-A.Warhol

I hope you enjoyed the tiny sneak peak of the 13 photo's I can give you and if you are ever in the Pittsburgh, PA area I definitely suggest visiting the museum for yourself. I adore it and have been to a million of museums in NYC, and D.C. but the Andy Warhol Museum is still in my top 3. I'll leave you now with my favorite quote from Andy. I agree with this immensely!!! (Of course I would if you knew at all haha) Also here is the link to visit for more info on the museum and while on the site don't forget to check out the awesome gift shop! http://www.warhol.org/

"I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of "work" because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do. Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery." Andy
