Description As Books Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up

From Library Journal
The former editor of Andy Warhol's Interview magazine, Colacello has an insider's story to tell. This book is as bitchy and packed with names as its readers could want. The Andy Warhol Factory is described (not surprisingly) as an exploitative place where Andy got richer and richer while his drones worked harder and harder. Colacello's straightforward chronology of working and partying in Warhol's circle is tinged by his bitterness over a heavy workload and little pay at the Factory. His tone captures perfectly the self-obsessed philosophy that drove Warhol, his hangers-on, and the subculture of sex, drugs, parties, discos, and the New York art scene of the 1970s and early 1980s. Recommended for academic, art, and public libraries. Photos not seen. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 2/1/90.

Evaluation Based On Books Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up

At just under 700 pages I felt this was way too long . In many ways it read a bit like a long OK or Hello magazine with endless references to the great and the good as Warhol and his cronies scour the glitterati for portrait commissions . The author worked at the Factory for a period of time and was a significant contributor to the establishment and success of Interview magazine and the book was as much a potted history of that publication as anything else .They say you should never meet your

The author was an intimate of Warhol's during The Factory days & became a writer for Vanity Fair magazine. The museum where I volunteer having a Warhol exhibit soon & I was eager to learn about him. In the same vein as Vanity Fair, this book is gossipy, celebrity-driven, revealing, titillating & a quick read.

I've been a huge Andy Warhol Fan for a very long time & have read almost every book there is about him. This one is the BEST so far. It was written by Bob Colacello, who actually worked very closely with Andy for many years. So, there's a ton of inside information & circumstances that's really interesting, both from a "Biography" point of view & "Art History". Back in the 70's and 80's Colacello worked for Interview ( the Magazine created by Warhol ) & now, I think, he works for

Filling in the blanks.When you consider the scope of celebrity, it is impossible to completely capture the essence of someone as complex and disconnected as Andy Warhol. Like Marilyn Monroe or Jacqueline Kennedy, there will be many interpretations and last words. Andy Warhol was a man encased in his own fears and experiences. His exposures will always be fragmented. As a gay man, I recognized the patchwork quilt of stories that are woven as means to an end to unravel the enigma that was Andy

Not just the best biography of Andy Warhol, but one of THE BEST bios I've EVER read. Colacello has written for magazines, and so makes each chapter a closely-observed slice of his years inside the Warhol Factory and New York's "In" society circles.

enjoying all the juicy tidbits about Andy Warhol and his entourage. this is the kind of stuff that can keep me up at night. It's better than the best reality tv on steroids!Brilliant on every level. Not one page was less than riveting. Will be worth a second read in 10 years from now. Laugh out loud funny stuff too!

No one has anything nice to say about Andy and I think he'd like that just fine.
