He was the Prince of Pop, the pixielike painter, filmmaker, publisher, and partygoer extraordinaire who was rarely out of the headlines from the time he shocked the art world with his Campbell's soup cans in the 1960s until his premature death in 1987. He was Andrew Warhola in 1928 and made his way through a sternly religious Depress ion childhood in a Pittsburgh immigrants' ghetto to beocme the first international cellebrity artist. He went art school at Carnegie Tech and as a young illustrator caused a stir in advertising circles with drawings that some say grew out of foot fetish. In New York he led the revolution against Abstract Exporessionism with his paintings of soup cans, dollar bills, Coca-Cola bottles, old movie stills, and other artificats of American consumer culture formerly considereed too lowly for serious artists. constantly reinventing himself, shrewdly manipulating people along the way, lhe became the Pied Piper of New York's underground. But how did he create the vast empire, including the Facotry, that brought it all together? Sex, art, drugs, money, fashion, celebrity, death --- and his extraordinary collection of art and antiques, worth $25 million at his death. This major biography tells the whole store from begging to end stripping off the public facade to reveal his innermost motifations and passions. Here is the story of his formative years and hsi complex dependency on his mother, who in lateer years lived in the basement of his New York townhouse. He cultivated assidously his homosexual loveers, his Factdory acolytes and business associates, and the art and media celebrities Here is Warhols' definitvie biography of the man whose greatest creation may have been himself.
