1. Po Pism
The Warhol Sixties
A candid, anecdotal memoir of the 1960s art scene that blends behind-the-scenes accounts of a famed studio with sharp observations on fame, commerce and creativity. It recounts encounters with celebrities, collaborators and hangers-on, describing the making of artworks, experimental films and the daily bustle of a social hub where art and celebrity collided. The voice is conversational and often detached, mixing gossip, business detail and cultural critique to show how pop culture reshaped both an artist’s career and the wider idea of art.

2. The Philosophy Of Andy Warhol
From A to B and Back Again
A breezy, conversational set of aphorisms, anecdotes and reflections that treats everyday life as both material and subject, offering sharp observations on fame, beauty, sex, money, friendship and death. Written in a deadpan, ironic voice, the book turns mundane preferences and celebrity encounters into insights about identity, commodification and the spectacle of modern life, mixing humorous lists and practical advice with oddly candid personal stories. The result is an intimate, often playful portrait of an artist who sees commerce, style and self-presentation as inseparable from creative practice.
