Su questo libro

Recensione:

“[A] fascinating study of Warhol’s rise from commercial artist to the most celebrated painter and filmmaker in 1960s America.” (Richard Dorment, New York Review of Books)

“[Draws] for the first time on full use of the archives of the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. . . . [A] crazy, amazing, compelling story. This book does it justice.” (Maria Puente, USA Today)

“An excellent book, a work of great clarity and concision that makes Warhol (and rock critics) feel fresh again.” (Deborah Solomon, New York Times Book Review)

“Illuminating.” (Jackie Wullschlager, Financial Times)

“Riveting.... Exhaustively researched, seductively written.” (Michael Slenske, InterviewMagazine.com)

“Mr. 15 minutes of fame gets 441 well-researched pages.” (People)

“Scherman, a music writer, and Dalton, an art writer who briefly worked as an assistant to Warhol, entertainingly trace the artist rise from sickly, poor art student to a wealthy, prize winning Manhattan advertising designer to the most unlikely avant-garde painter of all time.” (Fred Kaplan, Washington Post)

“If you want to know how Andrew Warhola became Andy Warhol, read this book.” (Barbara Rose, Author of American Art Since 1900)

“Andy was fascinated with the speed and acceleration of life. This book beautifully conveys the sixties and his inner world. This is as close as you are going to get to the enigmatic Andy that I knew and liked.” (James Rosenquist)

“A sharp-eyed chronicle of those unsettled days in the early sixties when everything was up for grabs. . . . Pulling back the curtain, this fascinating book takes the true measure of Andy Warhol, the pale, enigmatic Wizard of Odd.” (Fred Goodman, author of The Mansion on the Hill: Dylan, Young, Geffen, Springsteen and the Head-on Collision of Rock and Commerce)
