“An epic biography. An enjoyable, engaging book full of details. Fascinating.”
Kirkus Reviews

Based on years of research and interviews with dozens of friends, lovers, and detractors of Warhol, this biography traces the artist’s journey from his origins as the son of Eastern European immigrants in Pittsburgh to his revolutionary role in the art world. Additionally, it is a fascinating portrait of society and the world in the seventies and eighties, and the major transformations that took place in commerce and culture.

Behind the glow of his famous Factory, which hosted the most glamorous figures of his time (Susan Sontag, Mick Jagger, and the Rothschild barons, among others), there was a shy man who lived much of his life with his mother and zealously protected his privacy. Filled with new ideas about the artist’s work and personality, this book perfectly captures the contradictions and radical ingenuity that led Warhol to revolutionize the cultural landscape. Was he a joke or a true genius? Was he a radical or an opportunist? As Warhol himself would have answered: yes.

Critics have said:
“I wish I could have known Warhol better. This fantastic biography makes me feel like I did. It reveals both the man and the genius beneath that silver wig.”
ELTON JOHN

“There are so many Warholian moments in this magnificent book that I wouldn’t know where to start. Captivating, it contains as much art history and philosophy as biography.”
The Guardian

“Warhol lived one of the greatest lives of the 20th century and now has a biography worthy of that life. Not a page is wasted.”
Los Angeles Times

“Absorbing.”
The Wall Street Journal

“Impressive, breathtaking.”
Washington Post

“Fantastic and thorough. The author delves into the life of one of the greatest myths of our times, silver wig included.”
The Evening Standard

“An epic biography of the king of pop art. A book to enjoy, offering every luxury of detail with agile writing. Fascinating.”
Kirkus Reviews

“The most complete and lucid biography of Warhol. The author navigates through extensive documentation without getting bogged down, defending Warhol as a self-made genius.”
Apollo Magazine

“An excellent look at the life, personality, and genius of Andy.”
Diane Von Furstenberg
