Products / The Philosophy of Andy Warhol
I paid a visit to the local bookstore the other morning and came across The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B and back again). Although not a true Warhol fan, and always a skeptic at heart, I found this book surprisingly witty, so much so that I proceeded to finish it during lunch. No matter what page you might turn to, you’ll find Warhol’s various thoughts on money, class, beauty, love, sex and even buying clothes. Take heed though. As he says: ‘I would rather watch somebody buy their underwear than read a book they wrote’.

I’ve been waiting for a group like this. These New Puritans are balls in your face, 100 miles an hour, pure attack! A young British group that has most of the UK press in the palm of their skinny pale hands, they hint at a sonic mash of Bloc Party mixed with what White Rose Movement were supposed to be. What more could you want?

Warhol didn’t really write this book so much as Pat Ast and Bob Collacello did. Read Holy Terror by Bob Collacello, who worked for Warhol in the ’70s and ’80s. Probably the most eye-opening and revealing book about Andy ever written.
