BOB COLACELLO & DIANE VON FURSTENBERG

“It is incredible how fascinated young people are with him,” the doyenne von Furstenberg said of her departed friend. “It’s funny, because he envisioned the way that things are now before anyone else . . . the icons and the branding. And I can only imagine how crazy he would be with Facebook and Instagram! He did all that before it even existed.”
 
“When the book first came out, I read it and thought, ‘Oh God, why did I put in so much detail about fights with Fred Hughes?!’ Colacello confessed. “But now, like Diane says, every little detail seems relevant because Andy’s so huge.” Taking a moment to reflect on the fact that Warhol achieved the supernova status for which he’d always endeavored, Colacello continued, “We’ve become like the Bloomsbury Group or something. It’s really weird, but it’s great. You know you can’t deny the past—good and bad—and I’m glad that I have a past.”
