Originally uploaded by trudeau

In the mid-60's Warhol began to diversify.

He stunned the public with the "Death and Disaster" series.

He bought a 16 mm Bolex and began making art movies (ex, "Sleep").
He expanded the Factory and hired more assistants.

In the Icons ("image") series, he went from Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy to posterized portraits of wealthy women such as Ethel Scull ("Ethel Scull 36 Times").

Hot musicians such as Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan entered his orbit.
He promoted rock singer Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground.

Warhol himself became a star at the center of the NYC art scene.
