One of Andy Warholrsquo;s superstars recalls the birth of an art movementmdash;and the death of an icon In this audacious tell-all memoir; Ultra Violet; born Isabelle Collin Dufresne; relives her years with Andy Warhol at the Factory and all of the madness that accompanied the sometimes-violent delivery of pop art. Starting with her botched seduction of the ldquo;shy; near-blind; bald; gay albinordquo; from Pittsburgh; Ultra Violet installs herself in Warholrsquo;s world; becoming his muse for years to come. But she does more than just inspire; she also watches; listens; and remembers; revealing herself to be an ideal tour guide to the ldquo;assembly line for art; sex; drugs; and filmrdquo; that is the Factory. Famous for 15 Minutes drips with juicy details about celebrities and cultural figures in vignettes filled with surreptitious cocaine spoons; shameless sex; and insights into perhaps the most recognizable but least intimately known artist in the world. Beyond the legendary artist himself are the throngs of Factory ldquo;regularsrdquo;mdash;Billy Name; Baby Jane Holzer; Brigid Polkmdash;and the more transient celebrities who make appearancesmdash;Bob Dylan; Jane Fonda; Jimi Hendrix; John Lennon. Delightfully bizarre and always entertaining; filled with colorful scenes and larger-than-life personalities; this dishy page-turner is shot through with the authorrsquo;s vivid imagery and piercing observations of a cultural idol and his eclectic; voyeuristic; altogether riveting world.

The photos are lovely and the designs and furnishings are very high end. The many wood designs are gorgeous. It is a bit more of an expensive and feng shui design than the beach house look we have now. I will aspire to some of these designs later. I look at the pages when I am stressed and feel like I am planning a vacation. Bali here I come. I was worth every penny to me.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. goodBy Mr. J.
