Netflix has given fans a first look glimpse at upcoming documentary series The Andy Warhol Diaries, and it's certainly a must watch.
The trailer, which is just over two minutes long, shows various footage of the renowned artist who sadly passed away aged 58 in February 1987.
Various people who knew and worked with Andy feature in the six-part series, as one is heard saying: "Andy Warhol's greatest work of art is Andy Warhol."
Another person reveals: "The diaries are Andy's thoughts in Andy's words. No other part of his work shows this."
Andy's words are recreated in the series using an AI program with The Andy Warhol Foundation's permission, and it's directed by Andrew Rossi.
American Horror Story's Ryan Murphy acts as executive producer in the six-parter which chronicles the remarkable life of Warhol, from the intimate vantage point offered by the artist’s own posthumously published diaries.
A Synopsis reads: "Beginning with his childhood in Pittsburgh, the series traces Warhol’s almost unbelievably diverse journey fluidly moving between mediums and through eras as an artist —both revered and reviled — director, publisher, TV producer, scene maker, celebrity and much more.
"While he was a larger than life figure, Warhol was intensely private regarding his personal life. This series truly reveals much about the very complex man through his own words — often in his own voice through the use of cutting-edge AI techniques— and those who worked, created, and played alongside him from the subversive to the mainstream, from John Waters to Rob Lowe.
"Andy Warhol Diaries deftly validates Warhol’s belief that the idea is not to live forever but to create art that will."
Warhol was an American artist, film director, and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art.
The Andy Warhol Diaries will be available to watch on Netflix on Wednesday 9 March.
