The selection of Andy Warhol's works featured in this volume chronicles the evolution of the American dream from the 1960s to the mid-1980s. In this period, American culture underwent enormous changes: commercial brands were elevated to a totemic status and the tenets of the free-market credo came to pervade every aspect of political, social and cultural life. The founder of Pop art turned his gaze on this system and through the relentless repetition of subjects--an approach borrowed directly from advertising--he transformed products into artistic icons. Commentary by noted Italian art critic Achille Bonito Oliva provides social and artistic context for Warhol's treatment of this topic. In a stylish homage to the Warhol palette, the first 20 pages of this book are printed on silver paper, and on various subsequent pages the four-color printed process is embellished with silver.

From his early portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Jacqueline Kennedy, Elvis Presley and Campbell's Soup to his recent silk screens of Liza Minnelli, Diana Ross, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Donald Duck, Andy Warhol's twenty years as an artist of international acclaim have been nothing less than a passionate love affair with the United States. From the camera that never leaves his side now comes a love letter, a remembrance and an astonishing portrait of modern life: America. Culled from his 10-year archives, it is a work of blinding insight, a book of strange beauty and anonymous contradictions. Here are the very private world of wealt and celebrity, the young Americans of today with their sexy, muscular bodies and the street world of America's poorest people. Here are the astonishing creatures of the night, dressed in fullest array; and here is a brunch in Texas that includes Western dance instruction. In Montauk, a Gauguin beauty arches atop a Botticelli seashell, while in New York Arab protesters need a costumed Santa Claus on Fifth Avenue. America includes the stars of today, from Bette Davis to Sly Stallone and Pee-Wee Herman; and it has the simple joys of life in our country, from the beautiful colonial meetinghouses of Lenox, Massachusetts, to the young, restless crowds on the beach in Venice, California. Andy Warhol has achieved enormous popular success and critical acclaim in art, advertising, graphics, films, records, modeling and magazine publishing. With America, he reveals to us all over again a country and an artist we thought we knew so well. It is Andy at his funniest and most touching; it is America with all it's staggering contradictions; it is an important and beautiful new work from the twentieth century's most American artist.

Andy Warhol called Christopher Makos "the most modern photographer in America." The man who first introduced Warhol to the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring here presents the photographic remains of their more than 10 years of intimate friendship and frequent collaboration. For the first time ever, all of Warhol's camouflage portraits, taken by Makos under the direct supervision of the artist himself, appear together, in full-page reproductions complete with Warhol's touch-ups and markings. In the photographic portraits that Warhol regarded as genuine self-portraits, he appears dressed up and in drag, wearing colored wigs and make-up, looking melancholic and shameless. Published in collaboration with Edition Bruno Bischofberger, Zurich.

“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. Praise for Vincent van Gogh: Portrait of an Artist: “This outstanding, well-researched biography is fascinating reading.”—School Library Journal, Starred “Readers will see not just the man but also the paintings anew.”—The Bulletin, Starred “An exceptional biography that reveals the humanity behind the myth.”—Booklist, Starred A Robert F.
