Amanda Lear & Salvador Dali & Andy Warhol: Encounters in New York and Beyond....
June 26, 2016: A book exploring the relationship of Andy Warhol to Salvador Dali by Torsten Otte is due to be published in August 2016. The book compares the biographical details of the two artists in addition to covering the possible artistic influences and the various encounters of the two artists - which were more often than is usually assumed.
The 400+ page book is quite an achievement. Otte has been working on it for a considerable amount of years and it is well-researched. Sources include emails from Billy Name, Gerard Malanga and Benedetta Barzini and conversations with Phillip Halsman's daughter Irene, Warhol's (deceased brother) Paul Warhola, Brigid Berlin, William S. Wilson, James Warhola, Serendipity founder Stephen Bruce, Udo Kier, Vincent Fremont, Cornelia Guest, Benjamin Liu, Vito Giallo, Wynn Chamberlain, Brigid Berlin, Harold Stevenson, and a considerable amount of other people who had contact with either or both artists. In addition to the abundance of information, there is also an excellent selection of more than 50 photographs.
The book is published by Scheidegger & Speiss. More details on the publisher's website here which also includes a table of contents and a "look inside" sample of pages from the book, including a photo of Dali and Amanda Lear in Paris.
