The 607 paintings and one sculpture documented in Volume 4 of The
Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonne were produced during a period of
less than three years, from late 1974 through early 1977. In
September 1974, Warhol changed studios, moving across Union Square
from the sixth floor of 33 Union Square West to the third floor of
860 West Broadway. Like Volumes 2 and 3, Volume 4 is identified
with a new studio, where Warhol continued to work for a decade,
until he moved into his last studio at 22 East 33rd Street on
December 3, 1984. Volume 4 may be seen as the first in a series of
books associated with one studio that will document an enormously
productive ten-year period in Warhol's oeuvre from the mid
seventies to the mid eighties.
In January 1964 Warhol moved his studio to East Forty-seventh
Street and began to produce works in series, allowing him to create
open-ended aggregations of boxes or canvases that could be
combined, recombined, or left as single units. This volume of the
catalogue raisonne reproduces the series Thirteen Most Wanted Men;
seven distinct series of box sculptures, including Brillo, Heinz
Ketchup, and Del Monte Peach Halves, among others; the Jackie
Paintings, based on press coverage of the assassination of John F.
Kennedy in 1963; a series of portraits, including 11
self-portraits; Marilyn and Jackie paintings of mid-1964, with
which Warhol introduced a new procedure in the studio - painting in
areas of local colour by hand; and the 1964 Flowers series,
probably Warhol's earliest allusion to abstract painting. Linich's
rare photographs of works and people inside The Factory, as well as
archival photos of gallery and museum installations showing
original combinations of these serial works, and original newspaper
clippings and silkscreen mechanicals. Whenever possible, catalogue
entries attempt to record how and when a multi-canvas work came to
be assembled in its present format. for readers to find their way
through the catalogue entries. These list for each work the
standard data (dimensions, date, present owner, inscriptions and
special notes), provenance, exhibitions and literature. Volumes are
organized according to catalogue number, with works reproduced in
numerical order, followed by the corresponding texts. this volume
includes appendices documenting each of Warhol's solo museum
exhibitions of the period, with a list of every work included in
each exhibition. Additional reference material includes notes to
the catalogue texts; a title index; and a comprehensive general
index. Indexes cross-reference works with their catalogue numbers
and page numbers as they appear in the book. editors Georg Frei and
Neil Printz began primary research in 1993, advised by the
distinguished curators and art historians Kynaston McShine and
Robert Rosenblum. Experts from the Andy Warhol Foundation reviewed
archival materials, personally examined nearly each work of art,
analyzed works in museums in their conservation facilities and
discussed them with conservators, submitted works for review by the
Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board, and interviewed Warhol's
assistants and colleagues to assemble a customized database of
works unparalleled in Warhol scholarship. Warhol's method of
working in serial compositions, silkscreen, and repeating units
challenges traditional art connoisseurship and begs the question
not only of what is and what is not Warhol, but which Warhol is it?
For each work, the catalogue answers, among other things, two
central questions: When was it made? and How was it executed?

This is a fun and educational book that is part of a series of
three that have been written in rhythm and rhyme to enable children
to become familiar with vocabulary relating to animals: vocabulary
that is fast disappearing from our English language because it is
not generally being taught or learned or used. "Animal Homes" uses
rhyme with bright, colourful illustrations to introduce words such
as sett, drey, holt and vespiary relating to homes of badgers,
squirrels, otters and wasps. It encourages children to develop
their vocabulary through literacy and learning. The two other books
in the series do the same with gender of animals, (Animal Families)
and collective nouns for birds, (A Flamboyance of Flamingos). All
three books were written to encourage words that are part of our
heritage to remain within our children's reach.
These rhymes are original and fun, as well as being educational.
This is a book for children to enable them to learn the gender
names of animals. So few children learn these now, even though it
is general knowledge and part of the vocabulary of the English
language. Sally King began writing using the simple names of
farmyard animals; she thought this would appeal to five to seven
year olds as well as their parents and teachers. Then, after some
research, her results found that eight to nine year olds were not
familiar with some basic names such as "sow" for a female pig or
"stag" for a male deer. The rhymes have been developed to include
more unfamiliar names such as those for a crab, a falcon or a
seahorse, in the hope of perhaps making the book appeal to older
children too. The repetition at the end of each rhyme engages the
child. In her experience teaching children of all ages for over
thirty years, Sally knows how much children love repetition and
rhyme. She sees the book, perhaps, as one that might be read aloud
by a parent, with the child joining in with the repeated lines or
perhaps a rhyme being read by a teacher to an infant class and the
class learning the names as they join in with the familiar lines.
The author has not come across any book similar to this one, that
addresses the subject of learning animal names, so she feels this
will meet a demand in the marketplace.
