Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Acclaimed on first publication, Harriet Vyner's <i>Groovy Bob</i> is the cult biography of hedonistic gallery owner Robert Fraser and a dazzling evocation of 1960s culture and counter-culture. Taste-maker, heroin addict and promiscuous homosexual, Fraser astonished London with the artists he introduced: Andy Warhol, Peter Blake, Claes Oldenburg, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Told through the voices of those who knew him best--Paul McCartney, Richard Hamilton, Mick Jagger, Bridget Riley, Keith Richards, Kenneth Anger, Malcolm McLaren and Vyner herself--<i>Groovy Bob</i> is a brilliant biography and a searing portrait of the most exhilarating period in post-war British social history. This edition features a new afterword by the author and colour plates including works from the major exhibition <i>A Strong Sweet Smell of Incense: A Portrait of Robert Fraser</i>, curated by Vyner and Brian Clarke at Pace London, 2015.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A fascinating slice of social history."-- "Los Angeles Times"<br><br>"An engrossing biography....Again and again, anecdotes from a seemingly endless party remind the reader just why the 60s are endlessly raked over: ex-army colleagues, poets, footballers, pop stars, actors and artists mingle in Fraser's world, along with drug dealer Spanish Tony and a suggested underworld of rent boys and rough trade. Vyner never loses sight of what made Fraser the centre of attention."-- "Guardian"<br><br>"If <i>here</i> was where Robert Fraser was, there was no better place to be."-- "Wall Street Journal"<br><br>"The definitive portrait of the man for whom the stars once aligned."-- "Slate"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Harriet Vyner</b> is the author of <i>Among Ruins</i>, coauthor of Jools Holland's autobiography, <i>Bare Faced Lies and Boogie Woogie Boasts</i>, and cocurator of a recent exhibition on the life and work of Robert Fraser at Pace London. <br>
