The son of a miner from Pennsylvania Andrey Vargola is known to the world as the father of Andy Warhol’s commercial pop art. Pat Hackett was his secretary.
From 1976 until his death, Warhol called Pat in the morning and told how yesterday went, meticulously listing all the places visited, all the people he met and all the money spent. She was recording. With no less pedantry, this telephone diary was deciphered and published. And now we have vivid evidence of an era when no one knew about AIDS, and drugs were the norm, with many funny and not made up stories. Take Warhol and Michael Jackson, for example, arguing about art in the sound booth of New York’s Studio 54 while cocaine is sprayed on copulating couples from the ceiling. Lifestyle of the 70s first hand. This book is part of a joint program between Ad Marginem and Garage.
