Andy warhol (1928 - 87) was a phenomenon. He remains a phenomenon
to this day, not only through his own work but also through that of
the many admirers and followers who populate the stage of
contemporary art. This sumptuous volume presents the first
full-scale exploration of warhol's tremendous influence across the
generations of artists that have succeeded him. Warhol brought to
the art world a unique awareness of the relationship that art might
have with popular consumer culture and tabloid news, with
celebrity, and with sexuality. Each of these themes is explored
through visual dialogues between warhol and some sixty artists,
among them John Baldessari, Vija Celmins, Gilbert & George,
Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Robert Gober, Nan Goldin, Damien Hirst,
Alfredo Jaar, Deborah Kass, Alex Katz, Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger,
Glenn Ligon, Robert Mapplethorpe, Vik Muniz, Takashi Murakami,
Bruce Nauman, Cady Noland, Elizabeth Peyton, Sigmar Polke, Richard
Prince, Gerhard Richter, Ed Ruscha, Cindy Sherman and Luc Tuymans.
These juxtapositions not only demonstrate warhol's overt influence
but also suggest how artists have either worked in parallel modes
or developed his model in dynamic new directions. Featuring
commentary by many of the world's leading contemporary artists, as
well as a major essay by the celebrated critic Mark Rosenthal and
an extensive illustrated chronology, Regarding Warhol is an
out-standing publication that will be essential reading for anyone
with an interest in contemporary art.
