Victor Bockris Biography Reexamines Warhol's Self-Invention
A review in artpress (January 2016, issue 429) examines Victor Bockris's biography "Warhol, la biographie" published by Globe. The review highlights Warhol as a champion of autobiography through works like "Ma philosophie de A à B", "America", and "Journal", and as a renovator of the genre. By inventing a flat, entirely public life without an inner world, he predicted the rise of exhibitionism.
