Bockris, Victor. Warhol: The Biography. New York: Da Capo, 2003.
Written by a Warhol friend and Factory insider, this comprehensive biography is a lively and incisive read. Its account, however, shies away from art historical issues, and it is sparsely illustrated.
Bourdon, David. Warhol. New York: Harry N. Abrams, 1995.
As a close friend to the artist and an active art critic in the 1960s and 1970s, Bourdon gives equal treatment to Warhol’s life and art. Richly illustrated with both his art works and materials from his archives, it is valuable as a biography and as an introduction to Warhol’s artistic career.
Colacello, Bob. Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up. New York: HarperCollins, 1990.
Written by a former editor of Warhol’s Interview magazine, this trade volume provides keen observations and a lively, intimate portrait of the artist running the Factory in the 1970s and 1980s. Colace
