Shnayerson quotes art dealer John Woodward's opinion that Warhol is 'the most faked' artist in America and writes 'Often, as a result, the Warhol board is simply blamed as the messenger of bad news to hoodwinked buyers'.

The Board received criticism for its operating methods, which differed from other authentication boards, and its seeming arbitrariness in judging whether or not a work was an authentic Warhol (though, given Warhol's working methods, what constitutes an actual work by Warhol can be open for debate).

Warhol had this to say about Coca-Cola: New York City's Museum of Modern Art hosted a Symposium on pop art in December 1962 during which artists such as Warhol were attacked for "capitulating" to consumerism.

Instead of working on a signature subject matter, as he started out to do, he worked more and more on a signature style, slowly eliminating the handmade from the artistic process.

At the height of his fame as a painter, Warhol had several assistants who produced his silk-screen multiples, following his directions to make different versions and variations.

In 1979, along with his longtime friend Stuart Pivar, Warhol founded the New York Academy of Art.

His use of tracing paper and ink allowed him to repeat the basic image and also to create endless variations on the theme, a method that prefigures his 1960s silk-screen canvas.

Warhol would simply film them, and declare them "superstars". The first recognised superstar was Baby Jane Holzer, whom Warhol featured in many of his early film experiments.

One of the most important collaborators during this period was Gerard Malanga. Malanga assisted the artist with the production of silkscreens, films, sculpture, and other works at "The Factory", Warhol's aluminum foil-and-silver-paint-lined studio on 47th Street (later moved to Broadway).

In exploring Warhol's biography, many turn to this period—the late 1950s and early 1960s—as a key moment in the development of his persona. Some have suggested that his frequent refusal to comment on his work, to speak about himself (confining himself in interviews to responses like "Um, no" and "Um, yes", and often allowing others to speak for him)—and even the evolution of his pop style—can be traced to the years when Warhol was first dismissed by
