"IN THE FUTURE EVERYBODY will be world famous for 15 minutes." The Campbell's Soup Cans. The Marilyns. The Electric Chairs. The Flowers. The work created by Andy Warhol elevated everyday images to art, ensuring Warhol a fame that has far outlasted the 15 minutes he predicted for everyone else. His very name is synonymous with the 1960s American art movement known as Pop. But Warhol's oeuvre was the sum of many parts. He not only produced iconic art that blended high and popular culture; he also made controversial films, starring his entourage of the beautiful and outrageous; he launched Interview, a slick magazine that continues to sell today; and he reveled in leading the vanguard of New York's hipster lifestyle. The Factory, Warhol's studio and den of social happenings, was the place to be. Who would have predicted that this eccentric boy, the Pittsburgh-bred son of Eastern European immigrants, would catapult himself into media superstardom? Warhol's rise, from poverty to wealth, from obscurity to status as a Pop icon, is an absorbing tale--one in which the American dream of fame and fortune is played out in all of its success and its excess. No artist of the late 20th century took the pulse of his time--and ours--better than Andy Warhol.

It was 1953 when, not long after arriving in New York City, a young artist named Andy Warhol had begun to make his way in the world of commercial illustration. As Arthur Edelman, his former employer, relates in his introductory note, ‘In a hallway of the Empire State Building, outside a shoe manufacturer’s office, stood a young man with Jackson Pollock shoes, a rumpled black suit, a portfolio and a shock of white hair.’ Over the next decade, Warhol created scores of whimsical advertisements for the Edelmans, including a colouring book that could only have come from the mind of Warhol, created especially for clients’ children for Christmas in 1961, and somewhat of a cause célèbre when it was published in 1990. The original edition was only 24pp, but Warhol actually created many more drawings through the mid/late 1950s and early 1960s; this revised edition is extended with many more of these images. A Coloring Book: Drawings by Andy Warhol will amuse a new audience with its delightfully carefree menagerie and mid-century charm.

En una placa de Petri en un laboratorio de Boston, se incubaron un grupo de ocho c lulas vivas que son la clave para una nueva y audaz era de la ciencia m dica. Estas c lulas proceden de un embri n humano, que contiene material gen tico de mi esposa, Paulina, y yo, que se obtuvieron a trav s de fertilizaci n in vitro. La investigaci n con estas c lulas tiene un potencial enorme para curar enfermedades terminales, salvar las vidas de innumerables ni os y aliviar a sus familias de un dolor indecible. Nosotros mismos hemos vivido ese dolor. Cuando naci nuestro hijo, no sab amos el camino tortuoso que se extend a delante de nosotros - c mo nuestro beb sufrir a, y c mo nos tocar a sufrir con l. No sab amos que pasar amos cerca de 1,000 d as en siete hospitales diferentes, viendo m s de 300 m dicos y viendo cerca la muerte muchas veces. No sab amos que tendr amos que tomar el asunto en nuestras propias manos para encontrar el milagro de la medicina que lo salvar a. Hace nueve a os, Paulina y yo nos embarcamos en una b squeda desesperada. Ten amos que crear un beb con el perfil gen tico exacto, cuya sangre del cord n umbilical lograra salvar a nuestro hijo de 2 a os de edad Andy, que estaba muriendo de una enfermedad gen tica rara. El beb tambi n tendr a que estar libre de la enfermedad hereditaria que estaba matando a nuestro hijo. Despu s de tres a os y cinco ciclos de fertilizaci n in vitro, y con la intervenci n cr tica de una tecnolog a m dica muy nueva llamada diagn stico gen tico de preimplantaci n (PGD), nuestra hija, Sof a, naci . Sus c lulas madre del cord n, trasplantadas a su hermano a trav s de transfusiones de sangre, reemplazaron a su sistema inmunol gico defectuoso y le salvaron la vida. Hoy en d a tenemos la bendici n de que Andy, 12, y Sof a, 7, son ni os sanos y hermosos. En agradecimiento, Paulina y yo donamos los embriones congelados que quedaron del ciclo de fertilizaci n in vitro -los que nunca se podr an utilizar porque son portadores del gen defectuoso que causa la enfermedad-al Programa de C lulas Madre del Children's Hospital de Boston, donde se le diagnostic la enfermedad y se cur a Andy. Los cient ficos fueron capaces de desarrollar dos nuevas l neas de c lulas madre cuyas propiedades gen ticas no solo los ayudar a aprender de la enfermedad de Andy, sino otras muchas enfermedades. A partir de ese conocimiento vendr n tratamientos y curas. Mi esposa y yo sabemos que nuestra historia y nuestras decisiones morales dif ciles son muy controvertidas. Hemos optado por compartir la historia para dar un rostro humano y una voz de esperanza a otras familias que enfrentan dilemas similares.
