If you want to read about him and his rather colourful life I suggest you tackle 'The Andy Warhol Diaries', then the excellent 'Holy Terror' by Bob Colacello ( he was the editor of Interview for 10 years ) and finish it off by the new biography by Blake Gopnik.

The Best Film Ever, by kfroms on Apr 16, 2021 11:25:47 GMT 1, If you are after something very funny, a bit weird and un-pc I can recommend 'Palm Springs' on Amazon.
www.imdb.com/title/tt9484998/
Also, 'Fred from Ireland' on Channel 4 ( UK ) is great. Subtitles are recommended mind.

Sure, DM me the ones you are after. We can then work out how to do that.

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Apr 14, 2021 10:55:15 GMT 1, Me again - Sorry! :-)
Went to central London yesterday and spent some time at Hatchards. Seems like several artists have used the lockdown to sign books - plenty of different David Baily books ( all from Steidl = very well done! ) and Anthony Gormley also has a nice selection available.
As mentioned all signed, lots of them first edition.
I went for this rather special book:
8 Minutes by David Bailey and Damien Hirst
From Steidl.de:
The premise of this book couldn’t be simpler: 130 photographs of Damien Hirst taken by David Bailey during a single shoot lasting eight minutes.
Each pose is spontaneous and determined not by Bailey but by Hirst, who mocks the camera with his tongue poked out, mouth open wide and hands pulling at his cheeks.
These photos are humble and unrehearsed, and so continue the sprit of Bailey’s Democracy in which Bailey photographed a cross section of naked subjects, shunning issues of composition, lighting and digital manipulation.
Renouncing text and even a title page, 8 Minutes resists formulaic over-designed coffee-table publications.
Bailey’s roguish message: what you see is what you get.

I wanted to but the signed, limited version but it was too expensive in the end. Guess this one does the trick as well!

For almost 40 years, Catherine Opie has been documenting with psychological acuity the cultural and geographic identity of contemporary America. This unique artist monograph presents a compelling visual narrative of Opie's work since the early 1980s, pairing images across bodies of work to form a full picture of her artistic vision. With more than 300 beautiful illustrations and made in close collaboration with Opie, the book marks a turning point in the consideration of this artist's work to date.
I want to buy this but can’t justify the price tag. Aaaaarghhhh!

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Apr 7, 2021 15:19:24 GMT 1, For those who have found Adam Pendleton in the past few years, this book may have slipped under the radar. Published by Siglio Press in 2016 and long sold out and virtually impossible now to find. Becoming Imperceptible with wrap around poster cover (of which there were 3 I believe). Press Release below:IN COLLABORATION WITH THE CONTEMPORARY ARTS CENTER, NEW ORLEANS ADAM PENDLETON: BECOMING IMPERCEPTIBLE WITH ESSAYS BY ANDREA ANDERSSON, NAOMI BECKWITH, KITTY SCOTT & STEPHEN SQUIBB PUB DATE: APRIL 4, 2016 PB with french fold dj 7.125 x 9.25 144 pages b/w illustrations Reframed, reconditioned, and perpetually reoccurring, found images have served as Adam Pendleton’s primary tools and source material throughout his practice. Becoming Imperceptible follows the logic of Pendleton’s museum installations, constructing social and aesthetic histories, comprised of images in process and inscribed in the structure of their container. Including Pendleton’s texts “Black Dada” and “Amiri Baraka,” and drawing on a diverse archive that traverses European, African and American avant-gardes and civil rights movements of the last century—from Dada and Bauhaus to Black Lives Matter literature, from Language poetry to Black Power poetics, from Conceptual art to African Independence movements—Becoming Imperceptible frames a complex dialogue between culture and system. It embodies Pendleton’s practice by inviting the reader into an unfolding conversation about race and history, art and form. Becoming Imperceptible is the first in in a collaborative series of artist’s books with the Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans in which each year an artist is invited to intervene in the history and space of the book. All ofthe books in this collection will be different sizes, on different paper, with very different sensibilities and aesthetics, but each one will be a paperback with a french-fold dust jacket that features a poster-sized artwork by the artist as well as a booklet of critical essays about each artist’s work. Becoming Imperceptible has three different dust jackets and includes essays by Andrea Andersson, Naomi Beckwith, Kitty Scott and Stephen Squibb. The exhibition that this book accompanies opens April 1, 2016 and runs until June 16. Contemporary Arts Center is located at 900 Camp Street, New Orleans, Louisiana. ADAM PENDLETON (b. 1984, Richmond, Virginia) is a conceptual artist known for his multi-disciplinary practice, which moves fluidly between painting, publishing, photographic collage, video and performance. His workhas most recently been recently exhibited in the Belgian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale and Pace Gallery, London. Ouff. Thats cool!
