520    "Graham Boynton's Wild is the definitive biography of 
       photographer Peter Beard, a larger-than-life icon who 
       pushed the boundaries of art and scandalized international
       high society with his high-profile affairs. He was the 
       original 20th century "enfant terrible" with the looks of 
       a Greek god who blazed like a comet across the worlds of 
       art, photography, and fame. The scion of several old WASP 
       fortunes, he was by instinct an adventurer, and the more 
       dangerous the escapade, the better: whether he was hunting
       big game in Africa, ingesting epic quantities of drugs, or
       pursuing the most beautiful women in the world. Among his 
       friends were Jackie Onassis, Andy Warhol, and Francis 
       Bacon. When Peter Beard died in 2020 after mysteriously 
       disappearing from his Montauk home, he remained an enigma 
       to even his closest friends. Journalist and author Graham 
       Boynton was a friend for more than 30 years, spending time
       with Beard at his bush camp in Africa, in London, and at 
       his Long Island home. From hundreds of Boynton's 
       interviews with Beard's closest friends, former lovers, 
       and fellow artists comes this intimate portrait of a man 
       Sir Mick Jagger called "a visionary.""--|cProvided by
