Andy Warhol’s Dog (Dachshund)
Blog | by
Andy Warhol adopted his Dachshund Archie in 1973. Andy took Archie everywhere — art openings, his studio, and even restaurants where Archie would sit on his lap beneath a napkin, to avoid restaurant inspectors, and probably also to sneak some food.
He refused to travel to London without him. Archie became something of an alter ego for Andy during interviews, and Andy would deflect questions that he didn’t want to answer to his doting Dachshund.
