Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol was a human artist who had a history with Iris Wildthyme and once painted the Doctor.

Biography
In 1964, Warhol recorded Empire a piece of art. During the Deindum War, Bev Tarrant watched Empire to help her sleep. However on her second viewing she saw New York destroyed due to temporal interference by the Deindum. Bev then proceeded to watch it for a third time, this time Bernice Summerfield stopping the Deindum destroying New York and killing Warhol. Bernice was recorded fighting the Deindum by Warhol who, after Bernice's triumph, pointed out that they were being filmed. Bernice then blew a kiss to the camera. Warhol then turned the camera back to filming the Empire State Building. In the same year, Warhol also released a piece of artwork which was a silver life sized print of two Bernice Summerfields entitled "Double Bernice". During the Deindum War, both pieces of art were housed in the Braxiatel Collection, and Bev Tarrant kissed both of the Bernices depicted in "Double Bernice". (PROSE: The Empire Variations)

On 9 November 1965, the Eleventh Doctor told Clint Carra that Andy Warhol had invited him, Amy Pond and Rory Williams for soup, and that Warhol used the word "uncool". That was why the Doctor thought that people would use the word "uncool" in New York City. Clint told the Doctor that Warhol didn't move in his kind of circles. (AUDIO: Blackout)

During the summer of 1966, the first eleven known incarnations of the Doctor visited Warhol separately on Thursdays. Warhol painted a painting of the faces of those eleven incarnations. The painting later hung in the Paloma Centre, the largest collection of art ever. Warhol was fascinated by the Doctor's ability to change his face and enjoyed meeting each incarnation.

An android of Warhol, containing Warhol's memories, was placed in his exhibition. The android seemed embarrassed about his painting of the Doctor's incarnations. (PROSE: The War of Art) The Eleventh Doctor owned a version, also painted by Warhol, which also included the War Doctor as a silhouette. He couldn't find a place to put it in the TARDIS, and considered just telling Andy he had put it up somewhere. (COMIC: The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who)

While in a bubble prison, Iris Wildthyme imagined attending a party hosted by Warhol in London in 1966. Other guests included Mick Jagger, Twiggy (with whom Iris had a feud), Jimmy Page and Julie Christie. (AUDIO: Whatever Happened to Iris Wildthyme?)

The Eighth Doctor, Sam Jones and Iris Wildthyme were present when Warhol was shot in 1968. (PROSE: Femme Fatale)

An alternate Ninth Doctor once claimed that Andy Warhol had wanted to paint "all nine" of him. (WC: Scream of the Shalka)

In the 42nd century, Mr Bartle had a art print of multiple Ood photos in different colours. Bartle pretended to know about art to impress buyers; he claimed the work was in the style of the Ancient Earth artist "Wendy Arhol" and called him "the man who invented soup". (PROSE: Planet of the Ood)
