Meanwhile, in the life of Andy Warhol

The whole life

early 1980s
The end of his relationship with Jed Johnson
After the end of his relationship with Johnson, his only sustained romantic partnership, Warhol went through depression and significant weight loss. He turned to modelling, signing with the Zoli Agency in 1981 and later being represented by Ford Models.
by 1984
Allying with younger artists: Basquiat, Haring
By 1984 Warhol had allied himself with prolific younger artists who dominated New York's “bull market” of the 1980s — Julian Schnabel, David Salle and other Neo-Expressionists, and the Transavantgarde artists Francesco Clemente and Enzo Cucchi. He also supported downtown artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf and Stefano Castronovo.
September 1985
The show with Basquiat and “Reigning Queens”
In September 1985 the joint Warhol–Basquiat exhibition Paintings opened at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery to negative reviews. That same month, despite his apprehension, his silkscreen series Reigning Queens was shown at the Leo Castelli Gallery.
January 1987
“Last Supper” in Milan
In January 1987 Warhol travelled to Milan for the opening of the exhibition of his Last Supper series (1986) at the Palazzo delle Stelline.
20 – 21 February 1987
Gallbladder surgery on the eve of his death
By February 1987 Warhol, dehydrated and unable to eat, was in excruciating pain; he was admitted to a New York hospital on 20 February and operated on on the 21st — the surgeon found his gallbladder “on the verge of perforating”. He died early on 22 February of sudden cardiac arrhythmia.
