Talk:Andy Warhol

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hello editors — disclosure: I am Jeff Bruette, named below, so I have a conflict of interest and am requesting an uninvolved editor to review.

Request: Add a sourced sentence in the section discussing Warhol’s 1985 Amiga work noting that the practice-session files were saved and retained, and that the digital files were long believed lost.

Proposed sentence: "According to reporting, Commodore engineer Jeff Bruette saved the digital files from Warhol’s Amiga practice sessions; Warhol signed the diskette and told him to keep it, and the digital files were later described as having been thought lost until Bruette announced a sale of the floppies containing them."

Citations:

• Town & Country states Bruette saved the files from practice sessions and that Warhol signed the diskette and told him to keep it. ^[2]
• The Scholarly Kitchen reports that (beyond Harry’s print) the other copy and the digital files were thought lost until Bruette announced the sale of the print and floppy disks containing the files. ^[3]

 Not done: With all due respect, your proposed addition is a fairly minor detail related to Warhol's entire career. If there were a separate article on his Amiga work it would likely work there, but as it is, the Warhol article is nearly 14,000 words long which means it could really use trimming rather than the addition of more trivia.

It would be nice to see how Andy Warhol's signature changed over time if it did. Thank you! Popmodernabstractart (talk) 05:23, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

hey guysssss.

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want made. Please detail the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Toast1454_TC 13:38, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

It states in the "Death" section "...placed copies of the February and March issues...". Issues of what? A magazine? If so, then which magazine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-16794-72 (talk) 08:11, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Per the cited source, Interview magazine is what is being referred to. Also, the source only says "a copy" of it was placed in the grave, with no mention of specific issues. I have changed the wording to clarify and correct the info. Not only was the wording unclear, but partly inaccurate (per the given sources). So thanks for commenting. Good catch. A.

The phrasing was intentional to avoid redundancy while preserving clarity and accuracy. Since Paige Powell's association with Interview is already identified, repeating the magazine's name is unnecessary. The sentence consolidates both cited sources by noting that she placed the February and March issues (from the 1987 Newsday article) and a bottle of Beautiful Eau de Parfum (from the 2013 Spears article) into the grave before the casket was lowered, reflecting the full scope of the accounts without duplication. For clarity, I have edited it to: "Warhol's close friend and Interview staffer Paige Powell placed the February and March issues of the magazine along with a bottle of Estée Lauder's Beautiful Eau de Parfum into his grave" Twixister (talk) 16:35, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

To avoid confusion, I will revise it to: "Warhol’s close friend Paige Powell placed copies of the February and March issues of Interview magazine," and I have also added a quote from the Newsday article to the citation. Twixister (talk) 16:42, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying and editing the article accordingly. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 19:27, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
