CONNECT TO LOCAL CULTURE WITH 'THE COLORADO ART REPORT’

For in-depth coverage of the arts, tune in to CPR’s weekly show, “The Colorado Art Report,” with host Chloe Veltman. The program includes interviews with artists and cultural leaders, arts news and features from around the state, and curated segments exploring Colorado's cultural landscape in fresh ways.

In a recent interview for “The Colorado Art Report,” Chloe spoke with Denver photographer Mark Sink about his friend, artist Andy Warhol. Mark recalled his observation of the innovative artist’s process:
 
“I personally see Andy as a photographer, almost more than a painter, because the basis for his imagery is all photographic. He always had the camera with him. He shot anything that moved anywhere.” 
 

Catch “The Colorado Art Report” Fridays at 10:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. on CPR News, or anytime at www.cprnews.org.
