"The autobiography of an American icon, Andy Warhol's The Philosophy of Andy Warhol is published in Penguin Modern Classics.
'I never think that people die. They just go to department stores'
Andy Warhol - American painter, filmmaker, publisher, actor and major figure in the Pop Art movement - was in many ways a reluctant celebrity. Here, in his autobiography, he spills his secrets and muses about love, sex, food, beauty, fame, work, money, success, New York and America and its place in the world. But it is his reflections on himself, his childhood in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, the explosion of his career in the Sixties and his life among celebrities - from working with Elizabeth Taylor to partying with the Rolling Stones - that give a true insight into the mind of one of the most iconic figures in twentieth-century culture.
Andy Warhol (1928-1987), was an American painter, filmmaker, publisher, actor, and a major figure in the Pop Art movement. He also produced a significant body of film work, including the famous Chelsea Girls; characterised the epoch with the now-famous expression 'fifteen minutes of fame'; produced the first album by The Velvet Underground; and was nearly killed just two days before the assassination of JFK.

"In celebration of its 25th anniversary, the bestselling classic is introduced to a new generation-with an added preface by Warhol's diarist and long-time friend, Pat Hackett, contemplating Warhol's lasting cultural impact.
This international literary sensation turns the spotlight on one of the most influential and controversial figures in American culture. Filled with shocking observations about the lives, loves, and careers of the rich, famous, and fabulous, Warhol's journal is endlessly fun and fascinating.
Spanning the mid-1970s until just a few days before his death in 1987, THE ANDY WARHOL DIARIES is a compendium of the more than twenty thousand pages of the artist's diary that he dictated daily to Pat Hackett. In it, Warhol gives us the ultimate backstage pass to practically everything that went on in the world-both high and low. He hangs out with "everybody": Jackie O ("thinks she's so grand she doesn't even owe it to the public to have another great marriage to somebody big"), Yoko Ono ("We dialed F-U-C-K-Y-O-U and L-O-V-E-Y-O-U to see what happened, we had so much fun"), and "Princess Marina of, I guess, Greece," along with art-world rock stars Jean-Michel Basquiat, Francis Bacon, Salvador Dali, and Keith Haring.
Warhol had something to say about everyone who crossed his path, whether it was Lou Reed or Liberace, Patti Smith or Diana Ross, Frank Sinatra or Michael Jackson. A true cultural artifact, THE ANDY WARHOL DIARIES amounts to a portrait of an artist-and an era-unlike any other." (Amazon)

Andy Warhol ist die Ikone der Pop-Art. Mit seinen Ideen und Experimenten wurde er zum Vordenker von Starkult und Selbstvermarktung. Neugierig und offen nähert sich Maren Gottschalk in ihrer neuen Biografie einem vielschichtigen Künstler.
Drei Sehnsüchte trieben Andy Warhol (1928-1987), der vom armen Einwanderersohn zum talentierten Zeichner und exzentrischen Millionär wurde, seit seiner Kindheit an: Er wollte schön, reich und berühmt sein. Für Warhol, zunächst erfolgreicher Werbegrafiker, waren Kunst und Kommerz kein Widerspruch. Er wusste, was Menschen berührt und provoziert. Mit den berühmten Campbell-Suppendosen (1962) schuf er eine neue Definition von Kunst - scheinbar Banales wurde fortan in Serie produziert. Seine Siebdrucke von Marilyn Monroe sind ins kollektive Gedächtnis eingegangen. Seine Factory stand für New Yorker Dauerpartys, für Drogen und Sex, er selbst war Meister der schrillen Selbststilisierung und -inszenierung, der sich selbst zur Marke machte.
