An intimate depiction of the visionary who revolutionized the art
world A man who created portraits of the rich and powerful, Andy
Warhol was one of the most incendiary figures in American culture,
a celebrity whose star shone as brightly as those of the Marilyns
and Jackies whose likenesses brought him renown. Images of his
silvery wig and glasses are as famous as his renderings of soup
cans and Brillo boxes-controversial works that elevated commerce to
high art. Warhol was an enigma: a partygoer who lived with his
mother, an inarticulate man who was a great aphorist, an artist
whose body of work sizzles with sexuality but who considered his
own body to be a source of shame. In critic and poet Wayne
Koestenbaum's dazzling look at Warhol's life, the author inspects
the roots of Warhol's aesthetic vision, including the pain that
informs his greatness, and reveals the hidden sublimity of Warhol's
provocative films. By looking at many facets of the artist's
oeuvre-films, paintings, books, "Happenings"-Koestenbaum delivers a
thought-provoking picture of pop art's greatest icon.
