The most self obsessed human on the planet cons the entire art world and becomes the first real art 'icon'. Oh, and the book will come out in November.more Not only important to Warhol obsessives, but also to readers who are fascinated by the NY Art World of the late 50's and 60's. He chose to survive and what happened afterwards (his shooting) is material for another book.īut here we get the good years, and the commentary and interviews are really good. Not as interesting (work wise and social wise) as the 60's Warhol, but nevetheless it is almost like someone turned on a light - and Warhol had to either swim or die. The book stops when he got shot, and afterwards a new version of Warhol came out of that tragedy. And it must have been magnificent to be floating in his world, say 1963 to 1965. Warhol was not the first artist to grab attention to the high and (very) low end of pop culture, but he was a bridge between the two worlds. And more important I think his decades (the late 50's and through out the 60's) was even more great than him, if that's possible.

And this book by Scherman and David Dalton (a goo bio writer and ghost writer of sorts) captures Warhol at the peak of his greatness. And he's not even my favorite artist, but nevertheless without a doubt one of the more important people who came out of the 20th Century. Warhol was not the first ar Yes another Warhol bio, and do we need another one? Well, actually yes. Yes another Warhol bio, and do we need another one? Well, actually yes.
