Lots of Full-Color Reproductions with Notes on His Techniques
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
From back cover: "No artist more vividly personified the glamour of the art world than Andy Warhol. In the 1960s he was Pop art incarnate; the '70s saw him holding court at Studio 54; the '80s found him as much a media star as ever. This is surprisingly, the first comprehensive survey of Warhol's career, from early previously unpublished drawings to his final paintings and prints. Carter Ratcliff's incisive essay addresses Warhol's obsession with stardom, his innovative use of images from everyday life, his shrewd observation of popular culture. Ever controversial, Warhol continued to captivate, outrage, and influence the contemporary art scene until the day of his death." Special Features: * Artist's Statement * Notes on Technique * Chronology, Exhibitions, Public Collections, Bibliography * 119 illustrations, 82 in full color
