As an underground art star, Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was the
antidote to the prevalent abstract expressionist style of 1950s
America. He introduced popular everyday subjects into his practice
and openly acknowledged the wide-ranging influences on his work.
Throughout his career, his forays into advertising, fashion, film,
TV and music videos, marked a fascination with mainstream popular
culture. This book will position Warhol at the vanguard of artistic
experimentation. Looking at his background as an immigrant, ideas
of death and religion, and his queer perspective, it will explore
his limitless ambition to push the traditional boundaries of
painting, sculpture, film and music, and reveal Warhol as an artist
who both succeeded and failed in equal measure; an artist who
embraced the establishment while cavorting with the underground. It
will further highlight Warhol's knowing flirtation with the
commercial world of celebrity alongside his socially engaged
collaborations and advocacy of alternative lifestyles. Including
his iconic depictions alongide lesser-known works, as well as an
installation of his Silver Clouds, this fascinating book returns
Warhol to his conceptual ambition and positions him within the
shifting creative and political landscape in which he worked,
permitting a broad view of how Warhol, and his work, marked a
period of cultural transformation.
