Krátky popis
The definitive biography of one of the most famous and influential
artists the world has ever seenA GUARDIAN, OBSERVER, AND DAZED
MAGAZINE 'BOOK TO LOOK FORWARD TO' IN 2020'Art and art history
jumped the tracks with Andy Warhol. Blake Gopnik's lucid account of
the artist and the wild times puts all that back on track again. An
eye-opening biography that reads like a potboiler' Jerry Saltz,
Senior Art Critic, New York MagazineWhen critics attacked Andy
Warhol's Marilyn paintings as shallow, the Pop artist was happy to
present himself as shallower still: He claimed that he silkscreened
to avoid the hard work of painting, although he was actually a
meticulous workaholic, in interviews he presented himself as a
silly naif when in private he was the canniest of
sophisticates.Blake Gopnik's definitive biography digs deep into
the contradictions and radical genius that led Andy Warhol to
revolutionise our cultural world. Based on years of archival
research and on interviews with hundreds of Warhol's surviving
friends, lovers and enemies, Warhol traces the artist's path from
his origins as the impoverished son of Eastern European immigrants
in 1930s Pittsburgh, through his early success as a commercial
illustrator and his groundbreaking pivot into fine art, to the
society portraiture and popular celebrity of the '70s and '80s, as
he reflected and responded to the changing dynamics of commerce and
culture. Warhol sought out all the most glamorous figures of his
times - Susan Sontag, Mick Jagger, the Barons de Rothschild -
despite being burdened with an almost crippling shyness.Behind the
public glitter of the artist's Factory, with its superstars, drag
queens and socialites, there was a man who lived with his mother
for much of his life and guarded the privacy of his home. He
overcame the vicious homophobia of his youth to become a symbol of
gay achievement, while always seeking the pleasures of traditional
romance and coupledom. (Warhol explodes the myth of his
asexuality.)Filled with new insights into the artist's work and
personality, Warhol asks: Was he a joke or a genius, a radical or a
social climber? As Warhol himself would have answered: Yes.
