Dorment, Richard. Warhol
After Warhol
I picked this up on a whim as it looked like I might learn a
bit more about Andy Warhol and the modern day art market. Although the jacket promised an exciting read
full of action and miscreants, I found it started to get tedious quickly. The prose plods, the constant meetings,
texts, and restaurant tete a tetes with moneyed dolts and venal Warhol
executives left me with a bad taste for artists who phone in their work, the
critics who are eager to exploit it, and
the people who have too much money who buy it. If you should see it on a library shelf, leave
it there.
