In the late 1970s, all roads seemed to lead to Studio 54, whether they began uptown, downtown, or in Hollywood. This book captures that glittering convergence in scrapbook form, mixing photographs, profiles, gossip, pop philosophy, and social history into a portrait of celebrity culture at its most incandescent. The cast is pure Warhol: Truman Capote, Diana Vreeland, Halston, Liza Minnelli, Peter Beard, Jacqueline Onassis, Lee Radziwill, Muhammad Ali, Bianca Jagger, Diane von Furstenberg, Jimmy Carter, Lauren Hutton, Gloria Swanson, Nan Kempner, and many more. Stylish, shallow, revealing, and irresistible, the book is less a conventional photography volume than a time capsule of the moment when society, fashion, politics, art, and nightlife all found themselves caught in Warhol’s flash.
“I don’t think Studio 54 is like pagan Rome. I think it’s like junior high school”
--Andy Warhol
