Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol was one of the great creators of the 20th century. He was also the creator of a fascinating, eccentric and brilliant character. A living chimera that shone among intellectuals, transvestites, drug addicts, ultra-rich and superstars alike, keeping his past in a blurry, impenetrable memory. Even so, there were people who knew the hidden face of Warhol, surrounded by fears and insecurities harvested during childhood. In this book, Jean-Noël Liaut resorts to the most intimate confessions of the Warholian environment -John Richardson, Stuart Preston, Lee Radziwill, Pierre Bergé, Ultra Violet, etc.; many of them unpublished-, to paint a portrait full of nuances and reminiscences, away from the frequent efforts to mythologize the figure of the artist. Totally unknown episodes that delve into his beginnings and his misfortunes, his talent and his ability, his prophetic visions and his marketing sense, and that the author reveals for the first time after thirty years of investigation.
