Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. STEIN, Jean; PLIMPTON, George (Editor). Edie: An American Biography. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1982. FIRST EDITION. A fashion and cultural icon, Edie Sedgwick was Andy Warhol s muse and superstar. This book is an enthralling oral history of Edie told by her family and friends, including Truman Capote, Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Norman Mailer, Jasper Johns, Gore Vidal, Roy Lichtenstein, John Cage, and Patti Smith. Warhol has made numerous entries in his diaries regarding the development and publishing of this book, mostly expressing a certain apprehension about the project, and some resentment toward the book s success.

"His life, in a way, was all aboard that funeral train; all the phases: the people he had known, from school friends, family friends, college friends, his early political friends, and associates; and non-friends, but people who had gotten woven into his life." So spoke American artist William Walton, an old friend of the Kennedys and Chairman of the Commission of Fine Arts. For over eight hours on June 8, 1968 Robert Kennedy's funeral train wound down the eastern seaboard from New York to Washington.
