'ON and BY Andy Warhol' is an epic achievement. Gilda Williams has
collected what seems like every word ever written about or uttered
by the most influential artist of our time to produce a verbal
collage portrait that is bold, revealing, multi-dimensional and
original. If Andy were alive, he would probably say, "Oh, wow. Why
didn't I think of that?" -- Bob Colacello, special correspondent,
Vanity Fair. Author of Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up and former
Editor, Interview magazine. The impact of Andy Warhol on
contemporary culture is incalculable. A pioneer in virtually every
media in which he worked, Warhol also had a lesser-known hand in
such contemporary staples as reality TV, computer art, and the
rock-gig light show. In the wake of dedicated Twitter feeds today
that easily adapt his short epithets or 'Warholisms' into
140-character snippets, Andy Warhol's cultural relevance seems only
to grow in the 21st century.Edited and introduced by art critic
Gilda Williams, ON&BY Andy Warhol brings together generations
of notable writers who have examined the influence and legacy of
Warhol's life and work: art critics including Douglas Crimp, Thomas
Crow, Dave Hickey, Hal Foster and Lucy Lippard; artists Art &
Language and Donald Judd; philosophers and cultural theorists
including Arthur C. Danto, Fredric Jameson and Eve Kosofsky
Sedgwick; and, more recently, novelists such as Saul
Anton.Alongside accounts from Factory associates Bob Colacello and
Mary Woronov, and recent revelations from Warhol Museum senior
archivist Matt Wrbican, are critical assessments by Callie Angell,
Rainer Crone, Anthony Huberman, Stephen Koch, Wayne Koestenbaum and
Simon Watney amongst others; and further writings by Warhol (and
his collaborators) such as THE Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to
B and Back Again), Blue Movie, POPism, America, Andy Warhol's Party
Book and The Andy Warhol Diaries, as well as interviews with
Gretchen Berg and Alfred Hitchcock.
