BOCKRIS Victor - Andy WARHOL. Life and death

Bockris's book is a fascinating biography of a legendary man, a pioneer of pop art, America's most famous and controversial artist. Warhol revolutionized modern art by using everyday objects, photographs of famous people and advertising slogans as sources of inspiration. His reproductions of Campbell's cans and photographs of Marilyn Monroe, initially considered kitsch, are now exhibited in art galleries around the world. But Warhol was provocative not only as an artist. This closed-minded and reportedly morbidly shy man also turned his private life into a constant happening. He created pop culture icons and quickly became an icon himself. In the 1960s and 1970s he was the idol of New York's artistic bohemia. Therefore, "Andy Warhol. Life and Death" is also a story full of spicy details about people closely associated with Warhol, musicians, painters and originals, whom he always attracted like a magnet. Bockris' book is not only a biography of the brilliant artist, but also a remarkable portrait of the generation of Truman Capote, Lou Reed and Nico.
