Description
Tate Introductions: Andy Warhol is an indispensable introduction to one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. This book is part of the pioneering Tate Introductions series.
Andy Warhol's work reflected and commented on contemporary themes in American society: consumerism, celebrity, mass production, disaster, and death. To capture these ideas, he used a wide range of iconic images: Coca Cola, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, the electric chair, the crashed car, the race riot, and the atomic bomb.
Warhol's openness to subject matter was matched by a willingness to explore all media, resulting in his innovative approach to painting, photography, drawing, and printmaking, and his influential activity as an experimental filmmaker. This book, now beautifully reissued, offers an unmissable portrait of the work and life of Andy Warhol.
Stephanie Straine, the author, is a curator of exhibitions and projects at Modern Art Oxford and has previously worked at Tate Liverpool and the Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh. She publishes widely on modern and contemporary art.
