Laurence Leamer's Warhol's Muses is a comprehensive examination of the people who orbited Andy Warhol's Factory, exploring how fame, addiction, and exploitation shaped their lives. Through detailed research and compelling narratives, Leamer reveals the human cost of Warhol's artistic vision and the Factory's culture. The book becomes both biography and cultural history, examining how art and exploitation are often intertwined.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Leamer refuses to romanticize the Factory or Warhol's legacy. This book reminds us that understanding art history means confronting the harm done in its name, and that the people who enable genius often pay the highest price.
