"A boon to art history."-–The New York Times Book Review "Any book about [Warhol] described as ''comprehensive" or 'authoritative' is bound to meet with some skepticism. Yet those two words very well characterize David Bourdon's copiously illustrated Warhol." –The Wall Street Journal "The first book yet…that fleshes out the man behind the myth." –Newsday "You probably couldn't do better for an insider's portrait of the man whose fame lasted a lot longer than 15 minutes." –The Baltimore Sun "Warhol, the self-promoting "king of Pop" who pictorially chronicled American society--its faces, products, and events--may be one of this century's least understood artists. Given the recent spate of Warhol reminiscences, this biography is a good value: Words and pictures clarify his life and career, and the coffee-table format, offering over 300 reproductions that include personal photos and art--is visually satisfying.
