Book Description

Publication Date: Feb 1 2001 | Series: Harbrace Paperbound Library ; Hpl 75

A loosely formed autobiography by Andy Warhol, told with his trademark blend of irony and detachment

 

In The Philosophy of Andy Warhol—which, with the subtitle "(From A to B and Back Again)," is less a memoir than a collection of riffs and reflections—he talks about love, sex, food, beauty, fame, work, money, and success; about New York, America, and his childhood in McKeesport, Pennsylvania; about his good times and bad in New York, the explosion of his career in the sixties, and his life among celebrities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Andy Warhol was Andy Warhol Nov 8 2001
By C. Bijalba
Format:Paperback
Andy Warhol was Andy Warhol.
This book is Andy Warhol was.

Not an autobiography,
an automatic photography.

Not "by Andy Warhol,"
"is Andy Warhol."

5.0 out of 5 stars A Philosophy Nov 26 2003
By Todd
Format:Paperback
Andy Warhol is the famous alchemist of reality, forming the most trite, everyday ideas and images and altering them into genuine thought and innovation. On many levels, this book is just a collection of autobiographical text, commenting on people and places within Warhol's social olympia. But after the gossip and celebrity status is digested, the reader is endowed with a substantial, original outlook on sex, money, art, and many other of life's components. It's a fabulous read, with the 'tastiness' of a Vonnegut and packed with irresistably sarcastic humor. This book is a step above an autobiography. It is the essence of Warhol's addictive personality and a journey into the mind of a wonderfully eccentric human being. You don't have to be an art buff or culture addict to enjoy Warhol's genius in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Andy Aspie? Mar 8 2004
By KSG
Format:Paperback
Since Warhol's death a condition known as Asperger's Syndrome has come to light. It's named after an Austrian doctor who discovered it in a group of his patients in 1940's. Due to the outbreak of WW2, his research papers remained untranslated, that is, until quite recently. In brief, Asperger's Syndrome can be seen as one of the less severe forms of Autism. Both conditions share many of the same manifestations; an individuals impairment of verbal/social skills, a sensitivity to sensory overload and a comfort found in repetitive actions. Many Aspies are visual problem solvers. Is it possible that Warhol was an Aspie? If this sounds interesting to you, try reading this book along with Elijah's Cup by Valerie Paradiz and see the strong parallels between the two.

I love this book with a passion - ironically, I guess. I was personally a late conversion to pop art and the wry nonsense of the post-sixties media-driven labels fetish. Read more
