Holy terror : Andy Warhol close up
\"In the 1960s, Andy Warhol's paintings redefined modern art. His films provoked heated controversy, and his Factory was a hangout for the avant-garde. In the 1970s, after Valerie Solanas's attempt on his life, Warhol become more entrepreneurial, aligning himself with the rich and famous. Bob Colacello, the editor of Warhol's Interview magazine, spent that decade by Andy's side as employee, collaborator, wingman, and confidante. In these pages, Colacello takes us there with Andy: into the Factory office, into Studio 54, into wild celebrity-studded parties, and into the early-morning phone calls where the mysterious artist was at his most honest and vulnerable. Colacello gives us, as no one else can, an intimate portrait of this extraordinary man: brilliant, controlling, shy, and immeasurably influential. When Holy Terror was first published in 1990, it was hailed as the best of the Warhol accounts. Now, some two decades later, this portrayal retains its hold on readers--as does Andy's timeless power to fascinate, galvanize, and move us\"-- Provided by publisher.

We Can't Stop Talking About Andy Warhol
In an excerpt from the new edition of his superb account of the artist Holy Terror, Bob Colacello considers his legacy and fame. Since Andy Warhol's death in 1987, I have been asked the same question at least a thousand times: The O.J. Simpson slow- motion car chase, the Paris Hilton sex tape, Bill Clinton's grand jury testimony in which off- screen inquisitors ask if he achieved orgasm before or after Monica Lewinsky--straight out of, respectively, Sleep, Blue Movie, and the Chelsea Girls confession scene in which Pope Ondine torments poor Ingrid Superstar about her alleged sins.

BOOK
Andy Warhol
According to [Paul], the oldest of the threeWarhola (the family name) boys,he gave his little brother his first camera when he recovered - a Kodak Brownie - and he loved taking pictures of the family, their backyard and neighbourhood friends. AlthoughWarhol claimed their middle brother, John,'threw out'most of his things, including works he did in high school and as a Painting and Design major at the Carnegie Institute ofTechnology,when their parents'house was sold,some of these early Kodak pictures survived and are in the archives at theAndyWarhol Museum. But, as far as is known,[Andy Warhol] didn't take pictures again until 1968, when he acquired a Polaroid. In February 1976, he bought the just-released Minox 35EL, then the smallest camera to take full-frame 35mm photographs.'Oh, it's so great,' he said.'It looks like a James Bond camera.' From 1976 until his death, 11 years later, he took at least one roll of blackand-white film every day.Colour, he said, was 'too expensive', and it didn't have the paparazzi feeling he liked. Night after night, he'd set out for his round of art openings,movie premieres, book parties, dinners and discos, his jacket pockets stuffed with extra rolls of film and batteries.'It's work,' he would say, of both his party-going and his picture-taking.
