hi guys and gals,
check out the great review of edie: girl on fire on warholstars:
http://www.warholstars.org/news/ediegirlonfire.html
gary comenas aptly states that “the publishers have not made the mistake of emphasizing style over substance. there is enough substance in edie girl on fire to please even the most die-hard edie sedgwick addicts.” the book is full of great writing and insightful quotes, which come together to tell edie’s story in a way that stays true to her realness. comenas also remarks upon the book design and the photographs, observing that these elements of the book are completely substantive as well: “the book’s design reinforces the intention stated by melissa painter in her introduction” to capture the sensation of standing next to edie sedgwick, of getting caught off guard by her, of holding her attention… although many Warhol books promise “previously unpublished” photos, this one really delivers. particularly mesmerizing are the early photographs such as the one taken by edie’s brother jonathan on page 18. it’s easy to dismiss edie as a sort of pop icon but she was a real person and her “realness” is reflected in jonathan’s photo.” commenas has a great observation about jonathan’s photo- it is that kind of attention to detail that we find throughout painter and weisman’s beautiful, candid, living portrait of edie. comenas sees that edie’s realness is too reflected in this important book.
enjoy.
love silver hairspray.
Looks like a good review - can’t wait to read it and see/hear the cd…
For $50 it’s a steal, considering all that you get with it.
Edie is in the Warhol-themed Barney’s New York window, in case you haven’t seen it already..

quick question, I’ve been hearing about a movie called The Queen (1968) that says Edie was in it as a judge, is that true?
