The Andy Warhol Diaries

The Andy Warhol Diaries is a posthumously published book that compiles the personal diary entries of American artist Andy Warhol, recorded between November 1976 and shortly before his death in February 1987. Dictated to his confidante and collaborator Pat Hackett, the diaries were edited into an 807-page volume condensed from the complete 20,000-page diary Hackett maintained. The book offers an intimate account of Warhol's daily life, social world, business dealings, and artistic concerns, providing a detailed portrait of his later years and his central role in the international art, fashion, and celebrity scenes of the late 20th century. Upon its release, The Andy Warhol Diaries was an immediate commercial success and became a New York Times Best Seller.
