THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND SEX LIFE OF ANDY WARHOL

Book ID/图书代码： 12580010B38453

English Summary/英文概要： Village Voice and Interview cofounder John Wilcock was first drawn into the milieu of Andy Warhol through filmmaker Jonas Mekas, assisting on some of Warhol’s early films, hanging out at his parties and quickly becoming a regular at the Factory. "About six months after I started hanging out at the old, silvery Factory on West 47th Street," he recalls, "[Gerard] Malanga came up to me and asked, ’When are you going to write something about us?’" Already fascinated by Warhol’s persona, Wilcock went to work, interviewing the artist’s closest associates, supporters and superstars. Among these were Malanga, Naomi Levine, Taylor Mead and Ultra Violet, all of whom had been in the earliest films; scriptwriter Ronnie Tavel, and photographer Gretchen Berg; art dealers Sam Green, Ivan Karp, Eleanor Ward and Leo Castelli, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Henry Geldzahler; the poets Charles Henri Ford and Taylor Mead, and the artist Marisol; and the musicians Lou Reed and Nico. Paul Morrissey supplied the title: The Autobiography and Sex Life of Andy Warhol is the first oral biography of the artist. First published in 1971, and pitched against the colorful backdrop of the 1960s, it assembles a prismatic portrait of one of modern art’s least knowable artists during the early years of his fame. The Autobiography and Sex Life is likely the most revealing portrait of Warhol, being composite instead of singular; each of its interviewees offers a piece of the puzzle that was Andy Warhol. This new edition corrects the many errors of the first, and is beautifully designed in a bright, Warholian palette with numerous illustrations.The British-born writer John Wilcock cofounded The Village Voice in 1955, and went on to edit seminal publications such as The East Village Other, Los Angeles Free Press, Other Scenes and (in 1970) Interview, with Andy Warhol.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 作者系乡村之音（Village Voice）和采访（Interview ）共同创始人，第一次深入了解沃霍尔也是源于其早期一位电影制作。他回忆自己花了六个月把酒逍遥才与他们相熟，然后就被追问何时开写。作者早就对沃霍尔的私生活倍感兴趣，采访了一系列他身边走得最近的朋友。本书可谓是安迪•沃霍尔这位艺术家的第一部口述自传，出版于1971年。此次新版更正了老版的许多错误，设计更加精致，还有一系列的插画。
