As It Turns Out: A Special Evening with Alice Sedgwick Wohl

A Special Evening with Alice Sedgwick Wohl, author of As It Turns Out: Thinking About Edie and Andy. Wohl tells Edie’s story, as only a sister could, from their fractured childhood on a California ranch to Edie’s life and relationship with Warhol in the late 1960’s when she became his muse and superstar at The Factory, Warhol’s studio and meeting place for artists, musicians, and admirers. Wohl writes with empathy and insight, exploring why Edie drew attention wherever she went, fascinated Warhol, and captured the imagination of the period. This is also a story about a privileged family in continual crisis and a quest many years later by a sister wanting to better understand who her sister really was and why she became such a powerful cultural icon. “A great pleasure of Sedgwick Wohl’s writing is that it is sisterly in the truest sense: irritated but protective, dabbed with globs of jealousy . . . Wohl, who has spent decades watching her sister on film, observes her as if looking through a high-powered telescope.” —Hillary Kelly, The New Yorker “Beautiful . . . Wohl adds sensitive shading and texture to the group portrait of the Sedgwicks that emerged in Edie—and a spray of light.” —Alexandra Jacobs, The New York Times “Wohl’s book is not a recollection or a mere revision but rather an attempt to understand the intense attention, even obsession, with Edie and Andy, and how their pairing anticipated the age of the influencer —Jessica Ferri, The Los Angeles Times
