Non-Fiction Biography
In the 1960s, Andy Warhol’s paintings redefined modern art.
His films provoked heated controversy, and his Factory was a
hangout for the avant-garde. In the 1970s, after Valerie
Solanas’s attempt on his life, Warhol become more
entrepreneurial, aligning himself with the rich and famous.
Bob Colacello, the editor of Warhol’s Interview magazine,
spent that decade by Andy’s side as employee, collaborator,
wingman, and confidante. In these pages, Colacello takes us there with Andy: into the
Factory office, into Studio 54, into wild celebrity-studded
parties, and into the early-morning phone calls where the
mysterious artist was at his most honest and vulnerable.
Colacello gives us, as no one else can, a riveting portrait
of this extraordinary man: brilliant, controlling, shy,
insecure, and immeasurably influential. When Holy Terror was
first published in 1990, it was hailed as the best of the
Warhol accounts. Now, some two decades later, this portrayal
retains its hold on readers—as does Andy’s timeless power to
fascinate, galvanize, and move us.
