Author: Warhol, AndyThis catalogue revisits the various historical eras in which Warhol left his mark on fashion, music and commerce. The works reproduced include paintings, histor ical serigraphs, drawings, photographs and memorabilia such as covers designed and autographed by Warhol, spanning from his beginnings in the 1950s as a highly respected designer, through the '60s when works such as Campbell's soup came to acclaim, and into the '80s when he nurtured artists such as Basquiat and Haring.The content spans from the 1950s, a decade that consecrated him as a highly respected designer; to the 1960s, when Warhol became a true social commentator, portraying icons (Campbell's soup), fame (Liz Taylor and Marilyn Monroe) and disasters (the faces of Jackie Kennedy before and after her husband's assassination); to the 1970s, when he became a kind of “society artist”; to the 1980s, when Warhol positioned himself as the spiritual father of a new generation of artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring and created new forms of commerce and tributes to the past.ISBN 9788836653072.
