Andy Warhol. Polaroids 1958–1987

by Richard B. Woodward

Andy Warhol was a relentless chronicler of life and its encounters. Carrying a Polaroid camera from the late 1950s until his death in 1987, he amassed a huge collection of instant pictures of friends, lovers, patrons, the famous, the obscure, the scenic, the fashionable, and himself. Created in collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation, this book features more than hundred of these instant photos.Portraits of celebrities such as Mick Jagger, Alfred Hitchcock, Jack Nicholson, Yves Saint Laurent, Pelé, Debbie Harry are included alongside images of Warhol’s entourage and high life, landscapes, and still lifes. Often raw and impromptu, the Polaroids document Warhol’s era like Instagram captures our own, offering a unique record of the life, world, and vision behind the Pop Art maestro and modernist giant.© The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc.

Un libro que necesitaba tener en mi colección de Andy y que es para apreciarse.

Además de la sección de Polaroids, viene una introducción y línea del tiempo en donde se nos cuenta lo más relevante de cada año de su vida hasta su muerte.

Es fascinante ver los retratos de los artistas más populares de esas décadas a través de los ojos de Andy Warhol.

Lo amo por siempre y para siempre.
