Full Description

There is perhaps no artist of the 20th century that is as famous and infamous as Andy Warhol.; Warhol Giant Size takes its inspiration from the over-the-top quality of Andy Warhol's life, career, and legacy and in a mammoth format and huge extent depicts, in roughly chronological order, the major events, people, works, and moments in the life of an artist who continues to be endlessly fascinating to those inside and outside of the art world.

Contents

A 5, 000 word introduction by Dave Hickey provides a critical biography and overview of the artist's career. Approximately 15 sections follow, organized chronologically, that focus on the major themes of the artist's work, each introduced with approximately 500-1,000 words of text. Subjects include: Advertising, Matinee Idols, Self Portraits, America the Beautiful, The Factory, Death and Disasters, Films, Polaroids and Photo booth Portraits, The Velvet Underground, Famous Friends, Interview Magazine, and Warhol and Basquiat. Interwoven among the images and chapter texts are relevant quotations both from Warhol himself as well as friends, critics, and personalities commenting on the artist, his work, and the era. Extended chronology and other end matter material.
