The autobiography of an American icon

“I never think that people die. They just go to department stores.”

Andy Warhol - American painter, filmmaker, publisher, actor, and a significant figure in the Pop Art movement - was in many ways a reluctant celebrity. In this autobiography, he reveals his secrets and reflects on love, sex, food, beauty, fame, work, money, success, New York, and America's place in the world. However, his reflections on himself, his childhood in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, the explosion of his career in the 1960s, and his life among celebrities - from collaborating with Elizabeth Taylor to partying with the Rolling Stones - offer a genuine insight into the mind of one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century.

Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was an American painter, filmmaker, publisher, actor, and a significant figure in the Pop Art movement. He also produced a significant body of film works, including the famous Chelsea Girls; defined the era with the now-famous expression “fifteen minutes of fame”; produced the first record for The Velvet Underground; and was nearly dead just two days before the assassination of JFK.

“Precise. Reliable. The usual stunning honesty of Mr. Warhol. Consistent entertainment and illumination” - Truman Capote.
