Andy Warhol Portraits

Rate this book
Featuring more than 300 portraits made from the early 1960s until the artist's death in 1987, Andy Warhol Portraits is the first book to provide a comprehensive view of this overlooked body of work, which includes such well-known twentieth-century icons as Jackie Kennedy, Mick Jagger, Liza Minnelli, and Queen Elizabeth, as well as many paintings largely unknown even to avid Warhol followers. With contextualizing essays by longtime Warhol collaborator Tony Shafrazi and art critics Carter Ratcliff and Robert Rosenblum, Andy Warhol Portraits is a facebook of the amazing cast of characters that populated Warhol's fascinating, star-studded, and, at times, sordid world.

Andy Warhol fascinates me. I think that some of his work is so raw and is very controversial but I think a lot can be learned from his photographic style. It's also nice to point out to people that he was more than just screen printing!

I am fascinated by Mr. Warhol's techniques and this book gives a nice glimpse into them.

A well put together look at his work from a man who dominated the gallery scene and launched many of the artists Americans know today
