“Throughout, Koestenbaum’s engagements with Warhol’s life and art, tinged with poetic brilliance and surgical dispassion, feel very high-stakes indeed, making this book an engrossing battle of wills.” —Publishers Weekly “This is a portrait of the artist’s heart and mind, a biography of his insides, the impulses that drove him to create.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette “Koestenbaum gives us a Warhol who is ineffably sad but heroic too: a man full of bravado, patience, energy and devotion to work, to making things. It’s a book that should tempt both those generally familiar with Andy Warhol and, even more, young people
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. An intimate depiction of the visionary who revolutionized the art worldA 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. 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. 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.. 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
