Andy Warhol, the iconic Pop artist, presented himself as a vacuous, dumb kid, famously saying, "If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings . . . and there I am. There's nothing behind it." This book penetrates the surface and explores Warhol's art from his beginnings as a commercial artist to his apotheosis as a society portrait painter. Vivid illustrations reveal Andy's worlds: his childhood in Pittsburgh, his chaotic Manhattan mansion, and the Silver Factory, where New York's bright new things hung out and had fun.
