A loosely formed autobiography by Andy Warhol, told with his trademark blend of irony and detachment

 

In The Philosophy of Andy Warhol—which, with the subtitle "(From A to B and Back Again)," is less a memoir than a collection of riffs and reflections—he talks about love, sex, food, beauty, fame, work, money, and success; about New York, America, and his childhood in McKeesport, Pennsylvania; about his good times and bad in New York, the explosion of his career in the sixties, and his life among celebrities.

Write Up Out Of Books The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B and Back Again)

Andy Warhol, a well known Pop artist, advanced art in the market culture. He is the one who did the label for Campbells Soup cans for which he used hand-painted canvases. And, he is the one who developed the silkscreen technique to reproduce a picture multiple times by adding slightly different features in each reproduction (In the 1962 series of paintings with Marilyn Monroe, he introduced the assembly line art). Through the multiplication technique, Warhol presented the concept of celebrity

This book is (probably) my most favorite book of all time ever. There were at least three years of my life where every decision I made was influenced by this book. In fact, I wrote down my favorite lines in a sketchbook so that if I ever lost my copy of the book (or loaned it to the wrong person), I could still find the wisdom.I can't say that this is a book for everyone, and reading reviews written by peers on this site have confirmed this. BUT I can say this is an incredible read for

This book went from midly interesting to boring at times. The last 2 chapters are a yawn. I don't know whether to believe any of it, especially the constant rant of wanting to be alone most of the time. I do wish he was alive to live in the 21st century, he would have loved all the digital art that is being made today. And it would have been interesting to see what he would have produced.

Andy prefers amateur dramatics to Oscar-winning performances: "I can only understand really amateur performers or really bad performers, because whatever they do never really comes off, so therefore it cant be phoney. But I can never understand really good, professional performers. Every professional performer Ive ever seen always does exactly the same thing at exactly the same moment in every show they do. They know when the audience is going to laugh and when its going to get really

Warhol's persona here is at times enjoyable, at times pithy, at times profound, at times absurd, at times concerned with triviality (underwear brands), etc. Warhol's superficiality and the moments when he simply records the "buzz" he surrounded himself with (a B talking on the phone about how she cleans her house for pm an entire chapter, for example) can get a little depressing/spiritually draining. When you read a book you expect certain things; don't expect that here with Warhol. He subverts

Andy Warhol makes me laugh. I'm not sure that was his intention, but I always reach for his books when I need a quick pick-me-up. In fact, I turned to this book straight after I'd read 'We Need To Talk About Kevin'. And sure enough, after a few pages I fell asleep and had the most blissful night's rest. (The last thing I read was talk about semen as a rejuvenating facial cream!)*Ive always had an on/off relationship with The Philosophy of Andy Warhol; non-committal. Id pick it up every now and

"That forty-pound shopping bag full of rice that I bought in a panic is still sitting next to my bed," I said. "So is mine, except it's eighty pounds and it's driving me crazy because the shopping bag doesn't match the curtains."--"Some critic called me the Nothingness Himself and that didn't help my sense of existence any. Then I realized that existence itself is nothing and I felt better. But I'm still obsessed with the idea of looking into the mirror and seeing no one, nothing." "I'm
