I just happen to be in Rome this Easter weekend, when half the city pretends it's not religious and keeps the door open in the centre for the hoards of tourists, and the other half closes its doors and leaves for the seaside. I was half-expecting to have a glance of a fake Pope wandering around as a tourist trap given the amount of money pouring in from low-cost flights less days, but instead yesterday I found myself in a tiny gallery near the much-more famous Villa Borghese, with photos of Andy Warhol probably in the same year of him meeting the Pope, as illustrated here: https://www.americamagazine.org/arts-culture/2018/01/30/andy-warhol-goes-vatican https://www.americamagazine.org/arts-culture/2018/01/30/andy... While this article (which is otherwise fairly word-for-word over the one posted here) asks "What does it say about the world of art if it fails to realize Warhol’s religious vision? There is perhaps a more pressing question: What does it say about Catholics if they fail to see in Warhol’s art one of their own?", I consider - maybe Andy was sceptical about his faith, seeing the amount of money changing hands over church-related goods and services, and found that his ability to obtain wealth through iconography was no less cynical. Hence, how he is perceived as cool and business-like as an artist and entrepreneur.
