Yes. A links page in 2025. Just like the old days.
New Additions 2025:
An interview with Viva's daughter
Transferred from the original Links page, 16 year old actress Gaby Hoffman talks about her mother, Andy Warhol superstar Viva Hoffman.
A one page timeline from years ago that includes both busts and Steve Rubell's death at Beth Israel.

Two of my favourites from the early days are still around:
The Velvet Underground Web Page
I came across Olivier Landemaine's site soon after I started mine. I'm surprised but delighted that it is still there. His last modification was at the end of 2024 so presumably he will continue doing updates in 2025. The best source of information on or off the net about The Velvet Underground. Online since 1996.
Andy Warhol Films Newspaper Ads
I was so excited when I came across this site. So much research. It's not just ads. There are also articles from press that has long since disappeared. Great for dating the premieres of Warhol's films and the promotional trips by Andy Warhol and his entourage. Many thanks Alfredo GarcĂa.

Other links of interest:
Warhol.dk
No longer online, Warhol.dk was the first Andy Warhol site that I came across on the net by a private individual. The "sitemaster" (as site creators were called in those days) was a 25 year old student named John Fogde - then a "5th year student at the department of Information and Media Science at Aarhus University in Denmark."
It began in 1996. This is what it looked like on 31 March 2005 and when it ended on 1 April 2006. (Before social media overwhelmed copyright restrictions that still apply in the world of print.)
Michael Smith's sites
Michael was a Caffe Cino playwright and director, and the lover of lighting maestro and Warhol star Johnny Dodd (Batman Dracula, Dance Movie, Haircut no. 2 and Haircut No. 3, and Kiss) as well as the theatre columnist for the Village Voice at one period, before Michael's marriage to a woman. (Dodd also ended up marrying a woman but sadly died of AIDS.)
Michael has published some very interesting books under the imprint of Fast Books over the years (including The Real World by me) and also keeps a blog and poetry site. One of the last stalwarts of the '60s - a wealth of fascinating material:
Michael Writes (Poetry)

Additional Warhol-Related Links
Billy was the absolute best. Includes Press, Videos, Exhibitions and Licensing information in regard to his photographs. More on Billy in Warholstars at: Billy Name.
The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts
Publishers of the (indispensable) Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné: Paintings, Sculptures, and Drawings. Information about licensing, sales, grants and the current Board Members and Directors, past and present. The cat. rais. is the most extensive, best designed cat. rais. that I have come across for any artist.
Publishers of Warhol-related books such as Bibbe Hansen's Factory Poems.
New site of interviews by Steven Watson of Warhol-related stars, gender-bending icons and a great interview with the junkie who has gone down in history as the person who turned William Burroughs on to smack - Herbert Huncke.
Bibbe Hansen's site. Last updated in 2023, but has a useful biography and press history.
Current location of Dennis Cooper's regularly updated blog site - his previous site was banned.
To be continued - This page will grow over time. Check back regularly.
