Nick Bertozzi & Pierce Hargan: “Becoming Andy Warhol”

Celebrated during his lifetime as much for his personality as for his paintings, Andy Warhol (1928-1987) is the most famous and influential of the Pop artists, who developed the notion of 15 minutes of fame, and the idea that an artist could be as illustrious as the work he creates. This graphic novel biography offers insight into the turning point of Warhol’s career and the creation of the Thirteen most Wanted Men mural for the 1964 Worlds Fair, when Warhol clashed with urban planner Robert Moses, architect Philip Johnson, and Governor Nelson Rockefeller.

Nick Bertozzi is an American comic book writer and artist, as well as a commercial illustrator and teacher of cartooning. His series Rubber Necker from Alternative Comics won the 2003 Harvey Awards for best new talent and best new series. Bertozzi lives in Queens with his wife and daughters.

Pierce Hargan is a freelance illustrator, storyboard artist and writer. He studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, where he obtained his bachelor of arts in 2012.
