In January 1964 Warhol moved his studio to East Forty-seventh
Street and began to produce works in series, allowing him to create
open-ended aggregations of boxes or canvases that could be
combined, recombined, or left as single units. This volume of the
catalogue raisonne reproduces the series Thirteen Most Wanted Men;
seven distinct series of box sculptures, including Brillo, Heinz
Ketchup, and Del Monte Peach Halves, among others; the Jackie
Paintings, based on press coverage of the assassination of John F.
Kennedy in 1963; a series of portraits, including 11
self-portraits; Marilyn and Jackie paintings of mid-1964, with
which Warhol introduced a new procedure in the studio - painting in
areas of local colour by hand; and the 1964 Flowers series,
probably Warhol's earliest allusion to abstract painting. Linich's
rare photographs of works and people inside The Factory, as well as
archival photos of gallery and museum installations showing
original combinations of these serial works, and original newspaper
clippings and silkscreen mechanicals. Whenever possible, catalogue
entries attempt to record how and when a multi-canvas work came to
be assembled in its present format. for readers to find their way
through the catalogue entries. These list for each work the
standard data (dimensions, date, present owner, inscriptions and
special notes), provenance, exhibitions and literature. Volumes are
organized according to catalogue number, with works reproduced in
numerical order, followed by the corresponding texts. this volume
includes appendices documenting each of Warhol's solo museum
exhibitions of the period, with a list of every work included in
each exhibition. Additional reference material includes notes to
the catalogue texts; a title index; and a comprehensive general
index. Indexes cross-reference works with their catalogue numbers
and page numbers as they appear in the book. editors Georg Frei and
Neil Printz began primary research in 1993, advised by the
distinguished curators and art historians Kynaston McShine and
Robert Rosenblum. Experts from the Andy Warhol Foundation reviewed
archival materials, personally examined nearly each work of art,
analyzed works in museums in their conservation facilities and
discussed them with conservators, submitted works for review by the
Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board, and interviewed Warhol's
assistants and colleagues to assemble a customized database of
works unparalleled in Warhol scholarship. Warhol's method of
working in serial compositions, silkscreen, and repeating units
challenges traditional art connoisseurship and begs the question
not only of what is and what is not Warhol, but which Warhol is it?
For each work, the catalogue answers, among other things, two
central questions: When was it made? and How was it executed?
