Andy Warhol was a name I remember, along with words like "pop art" and "iconic Campbell's soup cans." Until reading this ebook, I knew virtually nothing about the man. However, I'd heard forever that he died of AIDS, which we learned in this ebook was untrue. In many ways, I view Andy's life as a life wasted -- chasing fame and fortune. He doesn't seem to have been a happy person, just someone chasing validation from others. That seems to be a tragic waste to me.
The value of this book was to watch Andy support a bastion of "friends" at The Factory. Were any of those folks really friends or just hangers-on? When I finished this ebook, I was torn between pitying Andy Warhol and wondering if he ever figured out that his aims were empty. A really sad story.
