ANDY WARHOL (1928 - 1987) IS ONE OF THE SINGULARLY MOST WELL KNOWN CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS OF ALL TIME. HIS IMAGERY IS RECOGNIZED WORLDWIDE.

HIS INFAMOUS LIFE, ARTWORKS, AND CREATIVE ENDEAVORS ARE LIKE NO OTHER ARTIST. HE IS CREDITED AS THE VERY FIRST ARTIST TO USE COMMON EVERYDAY OBJECTS AND VIEW THEM IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAY WHILE PAYING HOMAGE TO THEIR ROLE IN OUR SOCIETY.

GLORIFYING THE COMMON AS THE BEAUTIFUL. HIS TECHNIQUE UTILIZING A SILKSCREEN METHOD COMBINED WITH HAND FINISHING IN A SIGNATURE PALETTE OF VIBRANT COLOR HUES MAKE THE WORK STAND ON ITS OWN AND LOVED BY MILLIONS. THE 364 ARTWORKS ILLUSTRATED IN THIS BOOK REPRESENT EVERY EDITION OF PRINTS THAT WARHOL HAS PUBLISHED FROM 1962 - 1985, AND THEY PROVIDE NOT ONLY A HISTORY OF WARHOL'S PRINTMAKING SINCE 1962 BUT A LIVELY VISUAL CHRONICLE OF THE CULTURE AS WELL.

EVERY PRINT IS ACCOMPANIED BY THOROUGH DOCUMENTATION, AND 344 OF THEM ARE REPRODUCED IN HIGH QUALITY COLOR OF THE MOST PRECISE FIDELITY. AN INSIGHTFUL INTRODUCTION BY THE ALWAYS PERCEPTIVE HENRY GELDZAHLER ABOUT WARHOL'S LONG CAREER AND UNIQUE VISION, WHILE PLACING HIS WORK IN THE LARGER CONTEXT OF THE ARTIST'S LIFE AND TIMES. ROBERTA BERNSTEIN'S INFORMATIVE AND ENLIGHTENING ESSAY CONCENTRATES ON THE PRINTS THEMSELVES, EXPLAINING HOW THEY HAVE EVOLVED IN SUBJECT AND STYLE AND THEY RELATE TO WARHOL'S OTHER WORK. THERE IS AN EXTRAORDINARY VARIETY OF IMAGES ILLUSTRATED HERE. SEEN ALL TOGETHER, THEY ACHIEVE A KIND OF CRITICAL MASS THAT MAKES STRIKINGLY APPARENT WHAT AN ASTONISHINGLY SKILLED AND INVENTIVE GRAPHIC ARTIST ANDY WARHOL HAD ALWAYS BEEN.
