Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “IN THE FUTURE EVERYBODY will be world famous for 15 minutes.” The Campbell’s Soup Cans. The Marilyns. The Electric Chairs. The Flowers. The work created by Andy Warhol elevated everyday images to art, ensuring Warhol a fame that has far outlasted the 15 minutes he predicted for everyone else. His very name is synonymous with the 1960s American art movement known as Pop. But Warhol’s oeuvre was the sum of many parts. He not only produced iconic art that blended high and popular culture; he also made controversial films, starring his entourage of the beautiful and outrageous; he launched Interview, a slick magazine that continues to sell today; and he reveled in leading the vanguard of New York’s hipster lifestyle. The Factory, Warhol’s studio and den of social happenings, was the place to be. Who would have predicted that this eccentric boy, the Pittsburgh-bred son of Eastern European immigrants, would catapult himself into media superstardom? Warhol’s rise, from poverty to wealth, from obscurity to status as a Pop icon, is an absorbing tale—one in which the American dream of fame and fortune is played out in all of its success and its excess. No artist of the late 20th century took the pulse of his time—and ours—better than Andy Warhol.

Book excerpt: From his early portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Jacqueline Kennedy, Elvis Presley and Campbell's Soup to his recent silk screens of Liza Minnelli, Diana Ross, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Donald Duck, Andy Warhol's twenty years as an artist of international acclaim have been nothing less than a passionate love affair with the United States. From the camera that never leaves his side now comes a love letter, a remembrance and an astonishing portrait of modern life: America. Culled from his 10-year archives, it is a work of blinding insight, a book of strange beauty and anonymous contradictions. Here are the very private world of wealt and celebrity, the young Americans of today with their sexy, muscular bodies and the street world of America's poorest people. Here are the astonishing creatures of the night, dressed in fullest array; and here is a brunch in Texas that includes Western dance instruction. In Montauk, a Gauguin beauty arches atop a Botticelli seashell, while in New York Arab protesters need a costumed Santa Claus on Fifth Avenue. America includes the stars of today, from Bette Davis to Sly Stallone and Pee-Wee Herman; and it has the simple joys of life in our country, from the beautiful colonial meetinghouses of Lenox, Massachusetts, to the young, restless crowds on the beach in Venice, California. Andy Warhol has achieved enormous popular success and critical acclaim in art, advertising, graphics, films, records, modeling and magazine publishing. With America, he reveals to us all over again a country and an artist we thought we knew so well. It is Andy at his funniest and most touching; it is America with all it's staggering contradictions; it is an important and beautiful new work from the twentieth century's most American artist.

Book excerpt: In the 1960s, Andy Warhol’s paintings redefined modern art. His films provoked heated controversy, and his Factory was a hangout for the avant-garde. In the 1970s, after Valerie Solanas’s attempt on his life, Warhol become more entrepreneurial, aligning himself with the rich and famous. Bob Colacello, the editor of Warhol’s Interview magazine, spent that decade by Andy’s side as employee, collaborator, wingman, and confidante. In these pages, Colacello takes us there with Andy: into the Factory office, into Studio 54, into wild celebrity-studded parties, and into the early-morning phone calls where the mysterious artist was at his most honest and vulnerable. Colacello gives us, as no one else can, a riveting portrait of this extraordinary man: brilliant, controlling, shy, insecure, and immeasurably influential. When Holy Terror was first published in 1990, it was hailed as the best of the Warhol accounts. Now, some two decades later, this portrayal retains its hold on readers—as does Andy’s timeless power to fascinate, galvanize, and move us.
