After Andy is Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni’s insider's account of working in Andy Warhol’s studio and Interview magazine, and explores Warhol’s impact on the art world, pop culture, society, and fashion—and how his iconic status gave rise to some of our most influential tastemakers today.
 
Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni met Andy Warhol when she was sixteen, and then on and off over the years before landing in New York City at the Andy Warhol Studio, or as she calls it, “Adventures in Warhol Land.” In this witty, page-turning account, she takes readers deep into the Pop artist’s world—as well as miles into the stratosphere of the socialites, fashion icons, film stars, rock legends, and art world powerhouses who could be found in his orbit—where she worked with Fred Hughes, Brigid Berlin, Vincent Fremont, and others who were once part of the Factory clan. As the last person hired at the studio before Warhol died in 1987, Fraser-Cavassoni saw firsthand the end of an era and the establishment of a global phenomenon. From the behind-the-scenes disagreements and the assessment of his estate, which included Interview magazine and his art inventory, to the record-breaking auction of his belongings and the publication of his diaries, Fraser-Cavassoni examines the immediate aftermath of Warhol’s death and his ever-growing impact, which ranged from New York to Los Angeles and throughout Europe. Interviews with key figures of the art world and dozens of Andy intimates make After Andy and its subject more relevant than ever today.

      Born into an aristocratic British family in 1963, fashion journalist Fraser-Cavassoni (Sam Spiegel) chronicles her education in rebellion as a member of a star-studded social set during the last decades of the 20th century. A maven of the rich and famous, the younger Fraser-Cavassoni dips into wild parties brimming with cleavage and cocaine as easily as she socializes with willowy rock musicians (at age 17 she had an affair with Mick Jagger). Recording her many flirtations, Fraser-Cavassoni skips between London, Hollywood, New York, and Paris, describing a string of gal Friday experiences with powerful movie and fashion agents that paved her way to working in Warhol Studios. It is a breezy account in which chapter topics dissolve into lengthy detours. Less than a third of the book concentrates on Warhol and entourage, not enough to warrant his name in the subtitle. However, her cocktail, catwalk, and nightclub sketches provide an amusing stories of the consummate “English Muffin” (a term for well-born British women working for Warhol) with physical attributes “spilling out in all the right places.” This is a perfect beach read.
