The man whose pictures, parties, films, and life-style set the tone for the sixties here reveals the man behind the Pop mask. In this book, for the first time, he gives the story of the sixties as he lived them, from his initial conquest of the New York art world to the intimate scene at the Factory where he brushed shoulders with such celebrities as Tennessee Williams, Jim Morrison, William S. Burroughs and Jane Fonda and superstars Nico, Viva, and Ultra Violet. Now, looking back more than a decade later, Warhol coolly assesses the whole Pop phenomenon and his place in it in a unique, informal, and absolutely fascinating book.
