Did Andy warhol dye his hair silver?
Kinda... He used the "drip drop" technique, which is kind of a cop-out and takes little talent. He admits he picked it as his signature style because it is easy in some interview. Furthermore, a large amount of his work were silk screen copies that he would sign and sell for loads more then lithographed pieces. That is where he made serious money. So the answer is yes, but that it was easy and he sort of cheated with the copies. Nevertheless, he is the BEST artist of our lifetime and was a genius.
What color were Andy Warhol's eyes?
He started painting with dark greenish-brown colors until a French painter convinced him to use a more colorful palette. More on Vincent Van Gogh: http://www.factmonster.com/ce6/people/A0824048.html

What is Andy Warhol's piece 'Moonwalk' about?
He saw a group of black street kids doing this move, (which was called the Backslide). He liked it and asked them if they would show him how to do it. MJ continued to practice while still living with his parents.
He perfected and refined the moves making it his own - and often adding the tip-toe stand to round it off during performance ...and calling it the Moonwalk.
However, the first person I saw doing the backslide was a man called, Jeffrey Daniels, who was from an 80's pop group called, 'Shalamar'; I remember the time he performed this style of dance on 'Top Of The Pops', to the song - 'Night to Remember', because that was one of my favourite songs back in 82 :>) However, the roots of the backslide style of dance actually originated many years ago.
Okay, just went off to see if I could get the link for you to paste in, (YouTube is great for oldies, haa!...here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ImkBve8OW8
So, about a year later, Michael had already refind and tweaked it, basically making it his own - then giving it more exposure...The rest, as we know, is history :>)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Michael Jackson had never claimed he invented the Moonwalk, and has stated this numerous times - how, who and where he first saw it.
He also includes this section in his own 1988 biog - 'Moonwalk' - Always giving credit to the street kids, etc.
As for the robotic stuff you'll see Jeffrey Daniels do on above link - well, Michael was doing that way back in his teens :>) Here's a link to that, in case you have not yet seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj71HPMSOsY ... He was aways a cool mover/groover
Take care :>)

What is the purpose of Andy Warhol's art?
andy warhol was trying to show the society the new genre of art, known as pop art. However, he had been mocked at. But Warhol kept on working on his art, which in the end, people accepted it and supported it. Andy warhol was trying to tell the world that numerous differences can be made in art, and he wanted the world to accept the new kind, opening their blind eyes in taste of art.
Did Andy Warhol have a girlfriend?
In one of Andy's movies, Andy was handed a joint and denied the offer. When asked if he smoked or stuck with speed, his assistant answered for him that he stuck with speed. And even though Andy denied it, there are a lot of witnesses saying that Andy occasionally did coke. He'd even deny it as he was snorting it. In the movie Basquiat, it showed Andy later in his life talking to Jean-Michel Basquiat about how he had a dislike for Jean-Michel's drug use. I don't know if he referred to all drug use (meaning that Andy either quit drugs or was lying again about his drug use) or only heroine. He also drank excessively. And when he was younger, he contracted St. Vitus' Dance, nervous system disease, and was constantly shut in as a child, which might add to his odd nature. He said he was not.
