“No matter how good you are, if you’re not promoted right you won’t be remembered.” –Andy Warhol

Let’s hope that doesn’t happen to Alison Pace who has written a book with the fabulous title, If Andy Warhol had a Girlfriend.

Apparently, what is inside is just a great. I’m spotlighting Alison today as part of the Girlfriend’s Cyber Circuit, and she is on a virtual booktour. Today’s stop: my blog.

Alison holds a degree in Art History from American University in Washington, D.C. and received a graduate certificate in American Art from Sotheby’s Institute in New York. She has worked at Sotheby’s and has also been an independent fine art researcher. She lives in New York City. I’d say Alison knows a bit about Andy Warhol. Maybe her protagonist does, too. Here’s a little bit about the book.

She knows all about art, but does she know what she likes?
Jane Laine used to know a lot about art. But that was before she started managing a prominent gallery, and long before she met “it” artist Ian Rhys-Fitzsimmons. Jane can’t seem to put a finger on what exactly is so “it” about his work. In fact, as far as she can tell, he’s a big fraud and his fifteen minutes of fame should be over by now. Which could be kind of a problem-since Jane is the one who has to accompany him on a five-month international art fair tour.

To get through it all, Jane figures she’ll be a good sport and keep her critiques to herself. Until, traveling with this alleged genius from London to Rome and beyond, she starts to understand the connection between art and love-and the fact that in both, perspective is everything.

Alison is getting some great quotes and reviews, and I can hardly wait to read her book. Plus, her launch party was shown in In Style Magazine, so I’m kinda green with envy. I did not have a launch party. Of course, since I live in Utah, the locals would have loved to have launched me somewhere else before I wrote my book.

Anyway, like I’m going to, give Alison’s book a read. It promises to be worth it.
