I'll be your mirror

"The Q & A interview was one of Andy Warhol's favorite communication vehicles - he even named his own magazine after the form. Yet there has never been a collection of interviews that Warhol himself gave. I'll Be Your Mirror contains thirty-seven conversations revealing the complex mind of one of the most important artists of our time. Spanning 1962-1987, each piece presents a different facet of Warhol's ever-evolving personality." "Poet, editor, and critic Kenneth Goldsmith provides context and provenance for each selection in a piece of cultural history. The collection covers Warhol's work during the '60s with seminal interviews about his famous Campbell's Soup can paintings; his portraits of the grief-stricken Jackie Kennedy; and his powerful Death and Disaster series. As Warhol shifts from painting to filmmaking in the '70s, the interviews explore his emergence as socialite, scene-maker, and trend-setter; the influential Interview magazine; the Studio 54 scene; and in the 80s, his support of young artists like Keith Haring, the growing relationship between technology and art; and finally, his return to religious imagery and spirituality in an interview conducted just months before his death."--BOOK JACKET.
