Eye Candy for Andy

Aphorisms... Minimalisms... Trauseisms... More fun with Andy

Taylor Mead, writer, actor, performer, poet, and one of Andy Warhol's Superstars

Brief as the lives on display, these utterly charming pieces resonate with eroticism, sentiment, devilish humor and unexpected editorial comment... fitting testament to one of the key moving image projects of the 20th Century.

Ron Magliozzi, Associate Curator, Department of Film, Museum of Modern Art, New York

John J. Trause often transcends the ordinary five senses in his delightful new chapbook Eye Candy for Andy. Trause is a word-painter, and that is what art is all about.

Leah Maines, author of Beyond the River

John J. Trause, born the same year the Factory was born, never visited the Factory, but he was raised there in spirit and light by Andy Warhol and his Superstars. The author of books of poetry and parody and a contributor to many art and literary journals and anthologies, John J. Trause moves between the worlds of art, poetry, and scholarship like Mary Woronov swimming underground.
