Archie Warhol was a dachshund owned by Andy Warhol and Jed Johnson. Archie was featured in Warhol's works and depicted in paintings with him. He became a socialite, joining Warhol to parties and on trips to Europe. A few years after they adopted Archie, Warhol and Johnson got him a playmate, a dachshund named Amos.

Life

After years of owning cats, pop artist Andy Warhol's partner, Jed Johnson, convinced him that they should adopt a dog puppy for Christmas 1972. Johnson settled on a black and brown shorthaired dachshund puppy which they names Archie. Archie was named after the wisecracking character Archie Bunker in the popular TV series All in the Family.

Warhol and Johnson adored Archie. Warhol brought Archie to his studio, art openings, and restaurants. In 1973, Warhol brought Archie to Italy where Johnson was working on the films Flesh for Frankenstein (1973) and Blood for Dracula (1974).

Archie appeared in Warhol's arms in publications such as L'Uomo Vogue and Esquire.

Archie and Warhol were photographed for a Pioneer equipment advertisement in 1974.

Archie and Johnson appeared in Interview magazine 1975.

In the mid-1970s, Warhol and Johnson decided to expand their family, adopting a light brown shorthaired dachshund named Amos to keep Archie company. "Unlike Archie who enjoyed the company of people and was very social, Amos was more like a regular dog," said Vincent Fremont, former manager of the Factory. Eventually, Warhol stopped taking Archie with him, certain that he would be entertained with Amos at home.

In an entry on August 3, 1980, Warhol told his diary: "It was Archie's birthday and he's eight or nine or even older. I gave him a box of Hartz Mountain treats."

A photo of Archie taken by Peter Hujar in 1975 was published in the book Black and White Dogs (1992) by Jean-Claude Suarès.
