Popsim was published byHarcourt Brace Jovanovich in March 1980.Bob Colacello hosted a dinner party for the launch of the book at La Boite in New York City on March 24, 1980.[1] The guests includedHenry Geldzahler,Ahmet Ertegun,Richard Gere,Sylvester Stallone,Bianca Jagger,Debbie Harry, andPaloma Picasso.[2]
Thomas Sabulis ofTheBoston Globe wrote: "It's gossipy and alive, one of the best things you'll ever read about those crazy eight years—Warhol says the '60s ended in 1968. It's a Pop history in wraparound sunglasses and it reads like a dream."[3]
Ben Pleasants of theLos Angeles Times noted that "'Popism: The Warhol '60s is not a book about turbulence in America, or upheaval in our cities or even experimentation in the arts; instead, it focuses on the chic gossip of the art crowd of Manhattan during that era."[4]
Helen L. Kohen ofThe Miami Herald wrote: "The essence of Warhol's popism is disintegration, followed immediately by boredom."[5]
