An indispensable introduction to one of the most influential
artists of the twentieth century. Part of the pioneering Tate
Introductions series. Andy Warhol's work reflected and commented on
contemporary themes in American society: consumerism; celebrity;
mass production; disaster and death. To capture these ideas he used
a wide range of iconic images: Coca Cola; Marilyn Monroe; Elvis
Presley; the electric chair; the crashed car; the race riot; and
the atomic bomb. His openness to subject matter was matched by a
willingness to explore all media, resulting in his innovative
approach to painting, photography, drawing and printmaking, and his
influential activity as an experimental filmmaker. This book, now
beautifully reissued, offers an unmissable portrait of the work and
life of Andy Warhol. Stephanie Straine is curator of
exhibitions and projects at Modern Art Oxford and has previously
worked at Tate Liverpool and the Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh.
She publishes widely on modern and contemporary art.
