Andy Warhol’s America

BBC2, 9pm

This new series doesn’t just tell the story of the influential pop artist (above) – it also filters the major events of 20th Century US history through Warhol’s response to them. The first episode explores his childhood in Pittsburgh and his rise to fame and fortune in 1950s New York, where his work caused a sensation in the art world – and among the A-list of American society.
