The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B and Back Again) Details
Review PRAISE FOR THE PHILOSOPHY OF ANDY WARHOL "Acute Accurate.Mr. Warhol's usual amazing candor.A constant entertainment and enlightenment."--Truman Capote Read more From the Back Cover Andy Warhol claimed that he loved being outside a party?so that he could get in. But more often than not, the party was at his own studio, the Factory, where celebrities?from Edie Sedgwick and Allen Ginsberg to the Rolling Stones and the Velvet Underground?gathered in an ongoing bash.In The Philosophy of Andy Warhol the enigmatic Warhol makes the reader his confidant on love, sex, food, beauty, fame, work, money, success, and much more.* Andy on love: "People should fall in love with their eyes closed. Just close your eyes. Don't look."* Andy on beauty: "I really don't care that much about 'Beauties.' What I really like are Talkers."* Andy on money: "It's always good to get abstract when it comes to economics."* Andy on class: "The rich have many advantages over the poor, but the most important one, as far as I'm concerned, is knowing how to talk and eat at the same time."* Andy on underwear: "I would rather watch somebody buy their underwear than read a book they wrote."Andy Warhol (1928-1987), a painter and graphic artist, also produced a significant body of film work, including his famous Chelsea Girls. Equally well known in the late sixties and early seventies as resident host at his studio, the Factory, Warhol died in New York in 1987. Read more See all Editorial Reviews

New York City was a much funner place when we had spotting‘s of Andy Warhol around the city. Between him and mayor Ed Koch New York City was like Disneyland. In this day and age where everyone is on their cell phones we’ve lost so much. Many people say Andy would've embraced social media as a new form of art but I’m not sure . He did have a way of poking holes in technical perfection and showing the human aspect and he probably would’ve found something that we haven't discovered yet. This book makes me smile. It’s silly fun and an easy read.
