From the thirty-two canvas Campbell's Soup Cans to the Marilyn
Diptych, Andy Warhol's silk-screen prints are the epitome of Pop
Art: witty, gimmicky and unafraid of repetition. Obsessed with
consumerism and the cult of celebrity, Warhol exalted the "surface
of things" - and yet he was a man of deep complexity. In Andy,
Typex captures the remarkable life of the king of Pop Art, from his
working-class upbringing in Pittsburgh to the dizzying heights of
his celebrity. Spanning a period that began with the "talkies" and
ended with the advent of house music, it is also a memorable
portrait of 20th century pop culture and the stars who defined it:
from Elvis to Greta Garbo, Truman Capote to Lou Reed. Taking in
Warhol's early career as a commercial illustrator, his relationship
with the Velvet Underground and the development of his own
instantly recognisable style, Typex's Andy is an exhilarating
portrait of a transcendent artist and a master self-publicist.
Intensively researched, this 568-page graphic novel--with silver
edgestain on the pages-is the first to tell the complete life story
of the iconic pop artist.
