Reviews for Andy Warhol
16 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Koestenbaum veers wildly from incredible insight on Warhol's life, work, and career to tedious intellectual wankery -- often two or three times in the course of a page. Sometimes it's fascinating, and sometimes you can do nothing but roll your eyes.
Definitely worth reading, but I'd highly recommend reading Bockris' Warhol bio first. That one supplies the facts; this one emphasizes theory (and Koestenbaum's personal reaction to Warhol). Don't turn to this first as a comprehensive (or even brief but complete) Warhol bio. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I know almost nothing about Andy Warhol, only that he was a major artist of the 60's and later. I wanted to learn more, unfortunely this bio didn't really tell me much more. It is more of an outline of his life and work. I still want to know more.
