Book Description
Anecdotal, funny, frank, POPism is Warhol’s personal view of the Pop phenomenon in New York in the 1960s and a look back at the relationships that made up the scene at the Factory, including his relationship with Edie Sedgewick, focus of the upcoming film Factory Girl. In the detached, back-fence gossip style he was famous for, Warhol tells all—the ultimate inside story of a decade of cultural revolution.

No other book recreates the pop atmosphere of the times.......2007-03-12
The intimate stories of the cultural changes that represented the 1950s are told by one who was at the center of the storm: Andy Warhol. In his studio, the Factory, he created large canvases of what came to define Pop Art, listened to music which reflected a radical new generation's energy, and remained at the hub of the avant garde. No other book recreates the pop atmosphere of the times - and any reader of 1960s history and culture must have it.

Back from the past.......2006-08-18
I originally bought this book in 1982 at the student bookstore. It blew me away with the story of how the "New York" 60s were so different from the "west coast" "flower children." In fact, I loved this book so much, I bought 8 or 10 copies and used them as presents whenever there was a friend's birthday or something. I must have given away my last copy, as I couldn't find mine anywhere. Now, 25 years later, I bought a new copy on Amazon.
The book had a different cover and what was between the covers seemed different too. I was less blown away that I was at age 19. Its still a great (interesting and lots of fun) read, but something was missing for me. Whatever it was that caused me to focus so much on it 25 years ago seemed less vibrant and relevant.
Whether I've changed or the times have changed (both, I guess), this book is a look at (Andy Warhol's) time in the 60s from Andy Warhol in 1980. This book seems so "innocent" (if that term makes sense in this context) from the perspective of the jaded and self-referential present.
Still interesting, but not the Earth-shattering book I thought it once was.
book review : POPISM the WARHOL SIXTIES by andy warhol & pat hackett 1980 harcourt brace. .......2006-03-25
book review : POPISM the WARHOL SIXTIES by andy warhol & pat hackett 1980 harcourt brace.
this marvelous autobiography is andy warhol's first person narrative from 1960-1969, focussing primarily on his art & film work, but also including many famous stars, & infamous Factory characters, various trips he made to california, michigan, paris, and elsewhere, and also depicting the cultural/historical backdrop to that era. It's always interesting to read andy's interpretations of popular songs, films & celebrities, the parties & clubs he attended, and his film-making process, which seemingly took up as much of his time in the mid-late 60s as his painting did. The theme/meaning of POP is explored frequently in the book, warhol analyzing events like nightlife/discos, politics and society, fashion from Mod to unisex, the Pope's 1965 NY visit, music both pop & radical, the Beatles & hippie, all in terms of "POP."
Here are some of the details & events described that I found particularly interesting:
1960-63: travelling to the fox theatre in brooklyn with ivan karp to see murrey the k's rock & roll shows, incl. many motown acts.
his friendships with larry rivers, rauschenberg & other art peers, and the suspicious reception he received from the abstract expressionist painters of the 1950s, an earlier, more earnest generation, as opposed to the cool, ironic POP.
his relationship with underground cinema curator jonas mekas, who encouraged andy's alternative cinema style & projected almost all his films.
outrageous characters reappear throughout the decade, like Pope Ondine, The Duchess, Billy Name, Edie Sedgwick, Taylor Mead, International Velvet, Ultra Violet, Fred Hughes. Candy Carling, all brought to life in chronological order as Andy met & worked with them.
The evolution of the Factory, from east 89th st in 1963 to east 47th in by 1965 to union square west by the end of the 60s.
1964: hanging out with the rolling stones, mick, keith & brian jones, and Bob Dylan.
1966: the velvet underground & nico become the Factory's focus, from their debut LP to multi-media gigs/performances in the village & in selected cities. any rock fan will be fascinated to hear stories about hanging out with nico, lou reed, john cale & the crazed performances they innovated that year, S&M dances, light shows, sex & drug charged discoteques, confrontational noise performances, radical visuals & music -- essential underground nightlife & art historical events as they occurred. afterhours clubs with guide lou reed. the hostile reception the velvets got in LA & SF .
discos like the cheetah and the ultimate latenight hangout max's kansas city.
1967: happenings/be-ins in central park organized by tom hoving. "chelsea girls" the 4 hour, double screen film at last winning worldwide recognition for his cinema, incl. shocking sex, drugs & a bizarre cast of personjalities, in documentary style- no scripts!
1968-69 . turning over filmmaking to paul morrissey, warhol re-dedicated himself to silk-screening, photography & publishing. nico's solo career with chelsea girl & marble index. andy getting shot by valerie solanas in summer 1968 and almost dying. how his shooting affected his work & social routines for the rest of his life. his daily use of polaroid cameras & cassete recorders in every situation. "andy warhol enterprises" was run as a business by the end of the 60s, the Factory was no longer an open house for flamboyant and damaged personalities to act out their their spontaneous psycho-dramas on film.
"POPiSM" is a fascinating chronicle of an amazing era in nycs cultural history, especially the underground music, cinema & nightlife worlds, told with a unique perspective from warhol,. the artist who was behind so many of the ideas that we now associate with that ground-breaking era, who was there & analyzes but always from a dis-engaged viewpoint.
warhol applies his signature Pop interpretations to events both personal, social, historiocal, worldwide from this time. his Pop perspective & many of the art music & film ideas he pioneered in the 60s -- the cult of celebrity, media as art, noise rock, independant, underground verite cinema, multi-media discos & performances, uptown vs downtown, trans-gender roles in fashion & lifestyle-- remain pertinent today, & contunue to impact art, music, culture, communication, & media in the 21st century.
RATING: A
The Good News of Andy Warhol.......2004-12-13
Why wait for others to come along years later to write your Gospels? With Pat Hackett, Andy got out the Word.
If you've only read what others wrote about Warhol, you might be surprised to learn here to what extent the others seem to be using "Popism" as a source. You may wish you'd saved the money you spent on the other accounts. Few seem to present Warhol as well as he and Pat did.
It is to be wondered how many of the biographers and critics understood him. This guy who "lacked social skills" but somehow during the 60's seemed to have 10-20 friends with him whenever he went out for dinner shows in "Popism" what an extraordinary social magnet AND social observer he was. Sex and drugs and rock n' roll rarely get pushed this far.
"Popism" is surprising conventional in form, however unusual the people it describes. It flows easily. It is among the best publicity of Warhol and his circle. There's a helpful 8 page index of the people mentioned. To name a few: Brigid Polk, International Velvet, John Cale, Ultra Violet, Jackie Curtis, Joe Dallesandro, Candy Darling, Duchess, Baby Jane Holzer, Fred Hughes, Gerard Malanga, Mario Montez, Paul Morrissey, Billy Name, Nico, Ondine, Lou Reed, Edie Sedgwick, Ingrid Superstar, and Viva. You may never have been to The Factory, never seen a Warhol movie, never even seen a Warhol silkscreen, never heard Velvet Underground music, but, if you read "Popism" you'll feel like you know all these people and more.
Warhol's description of being shot and his recovery is especially fascinating. How was he able to be so objective? Andy and Pat are among the best storytellers.
After reading this book, treat yourself to watching "I Shot Andy Warhol" for another good presentation of what this scene may have been like.
Warhol lives.
The Coolest Book!.......2002-01-26
This engaging and fast-moving book chronicles the incredible rise of 60's pop culture and it's devastating conlusion as the key mover of the New York Pop art scene describes in ironic, humourous and incredibly sad detail. There are lots of bodies in the wake of Warhol's rise to American iconography. It's facinating and incredible. Pat Hackett has to be one of the most talented writers around to have been able to compile Andy's story in such a way that it's only his authentic voice that you hear as you read any of the books that she collaborated on. It's well worth the price of admission!
Book Description
For potters, mold making is invaluable because it allows them to slip-cast identical multiples of their work—and this newly revised, now in color edition of Andrew Martin’s classic is the definitive guide to the craft. No other volume has shown the processes in such how-to detail. It’s overflowing with hundreds of photos, key techniques, projects, master artist profiles, and troubleshooting tips. A thorough introduction addresses materials and tools, and presents Martin’s simple, unique template method for making clay prototypes. Create easy one-piece molds to make tiles, bowls, and platters, or multi-piece molds for more complex forms. An extensive overview covers slip formulation, while offering highly desired slip recipes for low-, mid-, and high-fire clay bodies. This will be the standard reference in every ceramist’s library.
Customer Reviews:
Perfect Upgrade.......2007-09-14
Andrew partnered with Lark Books to completely redo the original version of this book. They made a great team and this updated book should be in the library of every serious ceramicist. All the copies at the Kansas City Art Institute are well-worn and we are proud that Andrew is a graduate of the KCAI Ceramics Department.
Best ceramic mold making book around!.......2007-05-07
I have read all the ceramic mold making books over the last 10 years. This book by Andrew Martin was, by far, the best I've read. Good explanations, plenty of pictures on how-to's. I first saw Andrew at NCECA doing demos with his molds. I really liked what was coming out of them. If you want to further your ceramic experiences with molds, this is the book to get.
Worth the wait.......2007-03-10
Finally, a mold making and casting book, as usual, the photos are well done, there is a great deal more information than I expected and the instructions are clear. Lots of inspirational examples of other artists work. This was well worth the wait.

Industrial reference material.......2003-01-30
This book is often referred to as the best on the market. Yes and no. True, it is the most professionally written book on mold making. However, if you are looking for technical instruction, this is not the book. I realize that definitive information about mold making is not acquired through any one single book. Yet, having read this book years ago in art school, I was not able to translate any of the information into practical use. The processes illustrated are industrial with zero creative applications. It is obvious that Frith is a master mold maker, but it is my opinion that he has forgotten what a beginner needs to know. Overall, the techniques shown (production pottery) are limited but depending on your background, perhaps some of the processes might be eye opening.
Book Description
Whether you’re a beginning or an expert clay worker, here’s all the info you need to create plaster molds, then use them to produce multiples of your favorite mugs or best-selling pieces. Every aspect is covered, from selecting and working with clay, slip, and plaster to a series of fascinating projects for all levels. A color gallery of mold-made work offers encouragement and inspiration.

better than nothing.......2003-01-27
I was excited to see this book when it first came out. Read it the same day and had mixed thoughts. It is useful if you have never made a mold... but helpless if you have moderate to high experience. It is visually layed out better than anything else out there... and I keep it on the shelf for student reference. If you teach ceramics, keep it around. If you are seeking to learn mold making...it is just one of many books that you will need to peice together the real information that you will need to be a confident mold maker.

A Great Guide.......2001-01-22
This well thought out guide gets right to work explaining in clear, concise steps how to construct various types of clay molds. From basic one-piece molds to complex multi-piece molds, Clayton describes their design, construction, and infinite utility. The book is loaded with excellent color and black and white photographs. Some depict the tools and process. Others show a magnificent sampling of finished products. This guide can take the average pot-throwers hobby to the next level. Makes a pretty decent coffee table book too. --Christopher Bonn Jonnes, author of Wake Up Dead.
Answered all my questions!.......2000-04-23
Author Pierce Clayton and Editor Chris Rich have assembled instructions, guidelines and black/white assembly illustrations to make both plaster and rubber molds. Eye appeal in the form of dashingly colorful photos of ceramics of many accomplished artists is also included. His easy-to-follow instructions and pictures have answered every question I had about making plaster molds. I do have one suggestion: trying to keep your copy clean with a plastic book cover might be a good idea!

Here's what it's all about.......2007-09-16
I was browsing the net for info about clay sculpture, and especially about mold making and casting. I found this book listed at baileypottery.com, but they are temporarily out of stock. I came to amazon to see if it's here, and while it is listed, it has no image, and no book desciption. I downloaded then uploaded the book cover image from the other site, and here is the book description:

Book Description
"The architecture of George Nikolajevich exhibits a remarkable balance between restraint and expression. Working in St. Louis-far from the country's coasts of architectural fashion-and often limited to a conservative palette of materials, he has created a body of work that delivers modernist lan and formal invention.
"The nature of Nikolajevich's work also flows from his position as a design principal in a large national firm. Nikolajevich has been encouraged to carve out a special niche turning his strength into a firm strength. In the process, he has designed an impressive number of buildings that combine a sense of Midwestern thrift and practicality with a flair for sophisticated design. As Nikolajevich's career has progressed, his architecture has developed a growing affinity to that of the great Finnish architects Erik Gunnar Asplund and Alvar Aalto. Like Asplund's work, Nikolajevich's buildings have a quiet sculptural quality that impresses us with their economy of means. Sometimes less is, indeed, more. And like Aalto, Nikolajevich has demonstrated a humanist's touch with simple materials, especially brick. He has also thought a great deal about the way buildings can work together to create a sense of community and how the spaces in between can be as important as any inside.
"Nikolajevich's architecture demands your attention without hitting you over the head with architectural devices. At the same time, his buildings are easy to like; their warm brickwork, comfortable scale, and seductive formal gestures welcome everyone inside. While some modernist buildings are proud and aloof, Nikolajevich's works are proud and inviting." --Cliff Pearson

Standing in a River Waving a Stick
ASIN: 0399529179
Release Date: 2004-11-02 |
Book Description
Imagine A River Runs Through It seen through the eyes of Dave Barry and you'll get an idea of Rich Tosches' sharp-eyed reflections on the art, hobby, and obsession of fly fishing.
Armed with a rod, a pen, and an eccentric sense of humor, Pulitzer Prize-nominated sportswriter Rich Tosches headed for the Grand Teton Mountains, site of the World Fly Fishing Championship, and cast a keen eye on his fellow trollers from all over the globe. This encounter-and many others during a lifetime dedicated to the pursuit of fly fishing -are captured in a side-splitting collection of observations on every angle-and angler-of one of America's favorite pastimes.
Customer Reviews:
Worth reading twice.......2006-03-23
Zipping My Fly is a fantastic read. I've always thought that if a book isn't worth reading twice it isn't worth reading. This book is definately worth reading more than twice. Admittedly Tosches at times tries a little too hard to be funny, however more often than not he is extremely funny. I have never read a book that caused me to laugh out loud more than Zipping My Fly. By reading the other reviews of this book it seems to be a book that you either love or hate. I can't personally understand why anyone wouldn't love it. Anyone who flyfishes and is honest with themselves has to laugh out loud about Lee and his 8x tippet. It's comforting to know there are other guys out there who passionately enjoy flyfishing and can't stand the Lee's of the world. I suppose those who can't stand this book are likely the Lee's of the world. Read the book and you'll know what I mean. Thanks Mr. Tosches for an absolutely fantastic book and please write another one soon.
Definately not for me................2005-08-18
I love Geirach and have every single book he's ever written. I have also read Lyons and Babb's and a host of others. Those authors are humerous but temper their humor with fresh insiteful thought's as well. This on the other hand, was the most diapointing (supposed) fly fishing related work I've ever come across. It is non-stop non-sense front to back. I read the first chapter then skimmed the rest just to see if the author would ever settle down and put together some sort of reasonable cognisant thought somewhere. If he did I never saw it. Just a constant on-slaught of dry repetitive jokes. Not for me.......
Not for me .......2005-01-27
I'm an avid fly fisher. I love all of John Gierach's books with his unpretentious insights and subtle humor. I was hoping this would be along of the same lines, but it's very different and just not my style. It's certainly not one of those pretentious "meaning of life" fly fishing books (which I also don't care for). However, the humor is anything but subtle -- it's direct, repetitive and after a couple pages very predictable, and at least for me irratating. I read about a chapter and never finished anymore.
Could be better.......2004-01-03
I'll give the author credit for writing a book that's different from all the other fly fishing books out there. This book is funny, and it's meant to be funny. The jokes and one liners were nonstop. But, I felt that the humor got a little repetitive. I grew tired of reading the same phrases over and over again. Personally, I would have liked to have read fewer jokes and a little more of his introspective thoughts. For instance, I liked the chapter called, "A Tear and a Long-Tail Deer", which was about fishing with his kids. It was pensive, sincere and funny at the same time. It showed a little more heart than the rest of the book and it still made me laugh. I just wish there would have been more chapters like that one.
Not a book for sportmen or flyfishers.......2003-02-09
Rich Tosches may consider himself a humorist, but his humor is irritating, repetitive and unworthy of being published by a known publisher.Tosches may be a good flyfisherman, but I doubt anyone could take his brand of pointless jokes and nonsensical ramblings more than an hour.His book is poorly organized, he has few if any meaningful insights on outdoor experience and seems to shift between his LA experiences and living in Colorado.He can't make a reasonable point about an experience without dropping in a dry humor comment,then says "seriously" before recovering from every bad joke. Save your time and money avoiding this bad effort.
Book Description
This text aims to be accessible to students relatively inexperienced with electronic musical technology, while also sufficiently detailed for technical and musical achievement. Furthermore, it stresses the notion that, despite all the attention given to technique, the principal goal is musical expression.

Great Book!.......2007-01-10
Excellent work about EA Music... we need this kind of books with a lot of useful information...
The Basic Text with an Advanced Price.......2005-01-16
With the Electroacoustic Music (EAM) field continuing to take hold in the popular sectors of consumerist American society, it is not surprising to see a growth of instructional manuals, DIY tomes, and textbooks surfacing. For most purposes, Pellman's reduced text stands out as being rather accessible, if not downright cogent, as a primer for the EAM genre in terms of explicating digital sound basics, acoustical properties basics, and elementary compositional methods.
The section of the book speaking about MIDI is outstanding. Pellman's accurate reproduction of the MIDI 1.0 Specifications through a rudimentary lens is the best portion of this text as he guides readers through the ins and outs of operational messages, control and data functions, and practical applications. Also, the chapters on MIDI are well-appointed with diagrams and photographs aplenty, leaving little doubt in the mind of the reader about which his generally clear text speaks.
Not all of this book is as eye-pleasing, easy-to-follow, or even up-to-date as it should be, however. While historically important to do so, Pellman spends far too much time on working with magnetic tape. There are very few institutions still working with magnetic tape, and for the casual or amateur music maker, an Otari 4-channel reel-to-reel is conspicuously absent from his or her studio, making home or casual usage of these chapters worthless. Pellman should keep the historical aspects here and make a cursory overview of how tape was manipulated, but leave well-enough alone after a small hat-tip.
From a pedagogical standpoint, there are two rather serious issues that surface. Primarily, Pellman attempts to instruct compositional approaches to EAM through using serial (dodecaphonic) rows. This is a nasty snafu on the author's part largely because this will subconsciously say to students that "everything you do in this field has pitch." Not so at all. Also, for those people who use this text and cannot read music (or could care less about Schoenberg), these lessons (along with the quick and painful "here's a grand staff, now read music" page) will be largely lost. In terms of continuity and placement, should Pellman want to retain these lessons, they should come much later in the work - after all: the book's implicit intentions are to introduce the fundamentals and concepts, not necessarily compositional approaches. The second issue is the seeming confusion (from my students, that is) that arises during discussions of modular synthesis. Here, Pellman speaks loudly about VCOs, VCAs, VCFs, et. al., and peppers the discussion with topics and terms that should also be used in tandem with discussing modes of digital synthesis and reproduction but never mentions them again outside of the chapter dealing with analog synthesis. Frankly, the chapter on analog synthesis and modular synthesis is far too long without discussing much of their applications to digital machines and media.
From a purely aesthetic point of view, many of the photographs and illustrations are a bit too dark or poorly contrasted (all internal images are in black and white), making it difficult, in some cases, to stare an inharmonic spectrum down the barrel without squinting. For as much as the publisher is asking people to pay for this book, they could include at least a few token color images (especially when dealing with things like waveforms viewed in an editor or pictures of spectrographs and sonographs).
Anymore, most of the basics of digital music and EAM can be found online or in other texts. There are certainly more cost-effective solutions to satisfy the aural appetite, as well. But, for absolute beginners who want a solid grounding in MIDI, get confused by serial composition and fuzzy images, and are willing to pay nearly one hundred dollars for something worth perhaps half that amount, this book is right up their alley.
Everything you need for starting your own research.......2003-10-29
This book covers everything you need to know about Music and new technologies field. From physics of sound to complex MIDI network technology and it ends with perfect chapter of Audience in Electroacoustical Music. There are also etudes (excercises) which makes you practise what you have learned.
The only chapter I don't like was the "Composing Electroacoustic Music", which is really not enough for people who really intend to compose serious music. First he starts with the basics of music and on the next page you see 12-tone row and advanced 20th century compositional techniques. There are no Beethoven, Debussy etc. that made a lot for Schoenberg's 12-tone system. But there are other books that will teach you that.
Even if most of the text is out of date, it's one of Introductional books to this field of music.
I believe it is a School Book in the university in US where mr. Pellman teaches.
At the end... even my 50 years old father understood the text in the book. It's very well written and understandable for the most uneducated newcomers.
Sam is funny in class..........2000-11-01
It's good that Sam has written down so many of his ideas, becuase he could never remember them if he didn't. I found this book was good. for reading.
a decent introduction to electroacoustic music.......1998-10-30
this book has some very good aspects and some not-so-good ones; mainly, the chapters on computer music and MIDI production are swiftly going out of date, and there is no way to keep it updated without yearly appendices to the text itself. the book covers analog tape recording and splicing in good detail, especially for someone trying to do it on his/her own with no official teaching of it. pellman's listening guides are excellent as well.
