For decades, commentators have acknowledged Andy Warhol's
phenomenal impact on contemporary art. Unlike the many existing
books about the artist, Regarding Warhol: Fifty Artists, Fifty
Years is the first full-scale exploration of his tremendous reach
across several generations of artists who in key ways respond to
his groundbreaking work. Examining in depth the nature of the
Warhol sensibility, the book is organized around five significant
themes in the artist's work: popular consumer culture and tabloid
news; portraiture and the cult of celebrity; issues of sexual
identity and gender; artistic practices such as seriality,
abstraction, and appropriation; and the role of collaboration in
Warhol's ventures into filmmaking, publishing, and the creation of
environments and spectacles. Each theme is delineated with visual
"dialogues" between prime examples of Warhol's work and works in
various media by some sixty other artists, among them John
Baldessari, Robert Gober, Jeff Koons, Gerhard Richter, Cindy
Sherman, and Ryan Trecartin. 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. The volume includes a major essay by Mark
Rosenthal, original interviews with a number of the artists
featured in the book, and a visual archive and extensive
illustrated chronology that chart the "Warhol effect" over the past
fifty years.
