Desperately Seeking Warhol

For someone who traveled as much as he did, it is a marvel that Andy Warhol had time to make art. Desperately Seeking Warhol traces the artist’s movements around the globe. Relentless in the pursuit of new avenues to create and sell his work, Warhol set up shop in a dizzying variety of locales, working for and with other artists, musicians, controversial world leaders and more. The maps and location profiles here form a fascinating picture of a larger-than-life cultural icon whose energy few have been able to match since.

Just Kids by Pattie Smith

February 2022 Art of Reading book club selection.

A New York Times best seller

Smith’s terrifically evocative and splendidly titled memoir of her and Robert Mapplethorpe’s close friendship is a testament to devotees of downtown Manhattan’s last momentous period of 20th-century artistic ferment. It is also her portrait of two young artists’ ascent, a prelude to fame. It was the summer Coltrane died, the summer of love and riots, and the summer when a chance encounter in Brooklyn led two young people on a path of art, devotion, and initiation. … Just Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. … Just Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy.
