Today in Duran History – Warhol Museum

On today’s date in 2000, Simon and Nick visited the Warhol museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 

The museum is touted as being the global keeper of Andy Warhol’s legacy, and with over 900 paintings, 4000 photographs, film and video as well as other archives and MANY other pieces of Warhol artwork…the label sounds about right.

As I’m sure many if not all Duranies know – Andy Warhol was a big fan of the band, and in particularly Nick Rhodes (who was of course in turn a fan of Andy’s).  Andy Warhol and band

I also found a little video on YouTube – it’s a chat between Andy and Nick.  Take a look!

Once upon a time, there were two Duran Duran fans. One named Amanda, the other named Rhonda. Over many vodka tonics, they would laugh about the idea of one day writing a book about their fan experiences. While that manuscript is still being composed...Rhonda thought they should write a blog. (What was she THINKING?!) Lo and behold: The Daily Duranie was born.
