Pop
Author(s): Tony Scherman, David Dalton
Pop: The Genius of Andy Warhol is a groundbreaking reassessment of the most influential and controversial American artist of the second half of the 20th century. Writers Tony Scherman and David Dalton disentangle the myths of the great pop artist from the man he truly was, and offer a vivid, entertaining, and provocative look at Warhol’s personal and artistic evolution. Drawing on brand new sources—including extensive new interviews and insight from those who knew him best—Pop offers the most dynamic, comprehensive portrait ever written of the man who changed the way we see the world.
Review(s):
“[A] fascinating study of Warhol’s rise from commercial artist to the most celebrated painter and filmmaker in 1960s America.”
“[Draws] for the first time on full use of the archives of the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. . . . [A] crazy, amazing, compelling story. This book does it justice.”
“An excellent book, a work of great clarity and concision that makes Warhol (and rock critics) feel fresh again.”
“Illuminating.”
“Riveting.... Exhaustively researched, seductively written.”
“Mr. 15 minutes of fame gets 441 well-researched pages.”
“Scherman, a music writer, and Dalton, an art writer who briefly worked as an assistant to Warhol, entertainingly trace the artist rise from sickly, poor art student to a wealthy, prize winning Manhattan advertising designer to the most unlikely avant-garde painter of all time.”
“If you want to know how Andrew Warhola became Andy Warhol, read this book.”
“Andy was fascinated with the speed and acceleration of life. This book beautifully conveys the sixties and his inner world. This is as close as you are going to get to the enigmatic Andy that I knew and liked.”
“A sharp-eyed chronicle of those unsettled days in the early sixties when everything was up for grabs. . . . Pulling back the curtain, this fascinating book takes the true measure of Andy Warhol, the pale, enigmatic Wizard of Odd.”
