Where's Warhol?: Take a journey through art history with Andy Warhol!
"Forget it's eyes peeled for illusive art phenomenon Andy Warhol, who is hiding inside some of the world's greatest art scenes. Look out for the likes of Madonna, John and Yoko – and, er, Vladimir Putin – as Warhol travels back through time and popular culture" Smallish
"As well as spotting Warhol in the throng on each of the 12 double–page spreads, it's thought–provoking and unexpectedly educational to discover figures such as artist Rachel Whiteread, potter Josiah Wedgwood, novelist Gustave Flaubert and architect/designer Walter Gropius appearing alongside the likes of rappers The Beastie Boys, actor John Travolta and singer Madonna. Well known artworks are also dotted around (think Damien Hirst's petrified shark, Jean–Michel Basquiat's signature street graffiti and Warhol's eponymous soup tins). Catherine Ingram's concise text gives a succinct insight into each scenario which lends gravitas to Andrew Rae's humorous and entertaining illustrations. We can think of no better way to look and learn at the same time" Design Buzz
Where's Warhol? is an original take on a classic format, suitable for all ages with full color illustrations throughout. Search for Warhol's distinctive figure while also learning about different art historical periods and movements such as the Renaissance, the French Revolution, contemporary and street art and so much more!
Andrew Rae's detailed illustrations provide a wealth of fun items and famous characters to spot, from Warhol's celebrity friends at Studio 54 to the masters of Modernism at the Bauhaus School and the street artists of today. This is the perfect gift for fans of Andy Warhol with a fun twist!

One of art historian Catheine Ingram's fun and informative books about great artists. I have just read her This is Pollock, and was looking for more in her series, but found this, which is clearly an adaptation of the Where's Waldo? concept applied to Warhol's place in NYC, in public life, in the art scene. Aside from an introduction and some elaborate keys for people, mostly artists, one can find in the 12 Waldo-ish paintings, it is wordless. But combined with the codes in the appendix, you learn a lot about Warhol's place in pop art culture and the history of art.
The 12 pairings include Studio 54, Dali's Surrealistic Niht in an Enchanted Forest, Opening at the Frida Kahlo Retrospective, Basquiat at Washington Square park, Groovy Bob's Art Scene, Marie Antoinette's Execution, and so on. Fun and informative, not for kids, really, but for those interested in art and pop art of the sixties, for sure.

Even though trying to locate the multiple art, pop culture and history related people, animals and objects in Catherine Ingram and Andrew Rae’s fun and delightfully engaging (but also at the same time enlightening and informative) Where’s Warhol? has been at times quite difficult, hard on my ageing eyes and even a trifle headache producing, I certainly did have very much fun searching and finding (and much more so than I ever did with the ubiquitous Where’s Waldo? books on which Where’s Warhol? is of course loosely based, mostly because, well, searching for art, pop culture and history based images is for me and bien sûr much more interesting and fun than looking for Waldo and company engaged in generally basic everyday activities on the street, on the beach and the like, with many of the activities being shown also often presenting themselves as too deliberately and painfully silly for my personal tastes).
But as much as I have enjoyed poring over the art and history scenes depicted in Where’s Warhol?, taking in the diverse atmospheres, the visuals and naturally looking for the hidden and to be located images (Studio 54, The Garden of Earthly Delights, Michelangelo Paints the Sistine Chapel, Marie Antoinette’s Execution, Pompeii, On the Beach, Trouville, the Bauhaus and five further spreads), for me, what makes Where’s Warhol? so utterly brilliant and as such also much superior to many of the “search-and-find” books I have read, I have tried over the years is that for one (and for me this has absolutely been most heart-fully appreciated) the to be located objects and people are both verbally and illustratively listed at the back of Where’s Warhol? so that one knows and can picture what is to be searched for and found, and that for two, each of the twelve illustrations are also meticulously and in detail explained and analysed by I assume Catherine Ingram, making Where’s Warhol? also and equally a good basic introduction to art, history, pop culture and of course to Andy Warhol (and indeed, if there had also been a bit of a bibliography listed with further reading suggestions, my four star ranking for Where’s Warhol would without a doubt be five stars).

Replace Waldo with Warhol and you are there! A really fun book if you just want to relax...plus you might even learn something new about Andy Warhol! Something tells me he would really have liked this book - it is innovative and very informative. Books like this are a great way to refocus; really enjoyed reading this!

Where’s Waldo meets art history and pop culture! Fun to seek Warhol and friends, but also surprisingly educational!

Me gustó. No es solo sobre Warhol, aprovecha también para hablar de momentos importantes en la historia del arte. Además de Warhol, aparecen personajes más o menos relacionados con él o con el contexto y viene todo muy bien explicado al final.
Lo único que me trae un poco de cabeza es... la señora que barre. En cada página, además de un Andy Warhol y 2 o 3 gatos, sale una señora con gafas y pañoleta barriendo. POR QUÉ. Llevo una hora buscando en internet y no encuentro nada, aparte de que su madre era limpiadora y que hizo una peli grabándola haciendo entre otras cosas tareas del hogar. ¿Es su madre? ¿Por qué nadie menciona en las reseñas a la señora que barre? NECESITO SABER.

Fun way to learn about art through historical and cultural contexts. It would be great to have more information about the different artists and artistic movements featured.

4 stars because it was way too easy. I’ve found the bastard in less than 30 seconds in each page. I’d recommend anyway.
