Andy Warhol

Un recorrido por la obra fotográfica de la gran comunidad artística que rodeo la figura de Andy Warholl y su mítica factoria de ideas de Nueva York.

In the late 1960s Andy Warhol, one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, set out to turn the novel into an unforgettable piece of pop art. The result was a: a novel, a chaotic and intriguing re imagining of the world of the Factory, Warhol's infamous Manhattan art studio.

In his autobiography, published in 1975, the private Andy Warhol talks about love, sex, food, beauty, fame, work, money, success; about New York and America; about himself - his childhood in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, good times and bad times in the Big Apple, the explosion of his career in the Sixties, and life among celebrities.

POPISM, publicado por primera vez en España, cubre el período más dinámico de la vida y la obra de Andy Warhol. Unas memorias que pueden leerse, en última instancia, como una novela.En estos diarios, Warhol ofrece su peculiar version sobre el fenomeno pop en el Nueva York de los 60, y lo hace desde la privilegiada posicion que le confiere su peso especifico en el panorama artistico y mundano de aquella epoca irrepetible. Efervescente, lucido e inevitablemente cool, como siempre, Warhol repasa aquellos tiempos y nos aporta, de primera mano, un sucinto anecdotario de sus encuentros y desencuentros con toda esa impagable galeria de amigos, colaboradores, protegidos, allegados y promocionados varios que conformaron su mas directo entorno. Edie Sedgwick, Lou Reed, John Cale, Paul Morrissey, Nico, Candy Darling y toda la troupe de la Factory estan aqui. Y tambien, claro, las fiestas, los clubs, la interminable vida social, el arte, el sexo y las drogas de los cenaculos underground, sin obviar el momento critico que supuso el intento de asesinato que por poco acaba con su vida. Nadie mejor que Warhol para hablar de si mismo, para saber venderse a traves de esta fascinante autobiografia.

Part novel, part Pop artwork, Andy Warhols a is an electrifying slice of life at his Factory studioA work of genius NewsweekIn the early 1960s, Andy Warhol set out to turn the novel into pop art. a, the first book he wrote, is the result. Transcribed from audiotapes recorded in and around his legendary art studio, it begins with the actor Ondine popping pills, then follows a cast of thinly-disguised superstars, musicians and prima donnas as they run riot through Manhattan. A knowing response to James Joyces Ulysses, using the freewheeling, spontaneous techniques as Warhols visual art, this filthy, funny book is a uniquely creative insight into Factory life.Hellish hymns from Amphetamine Heaven, the vox populi of the Velvet Underground ... These people are witty and they are grand, they do terrible things and make awful remarks New York Review of Books

Andy Warhol, uno de los artistas que conmocionaron el arte contemporáneo a principios de los años sesenta y cuyos cuadros se encuentran hoy entre los más cotizados, vivió sumergido en su tiempo, una epoca que observo con la misma mirada indagadora y critica con la que plasmo ironicamente sus mitos en telas y objetos. Con la ayuda de la A (Andy, se supone) y de B, que "es cualquiera que me ayude a matar el tiempo" ay a quien A puede llamar por telefono durante horas para chismorrear y hablarle del amor, el exito, el dinero, la belleza, la muerte, la vejez, el trabajo, las fiestas, la gente famosa, la ciudad y de como quitarse el estres con una aspiradora, Warhol le va revelando al lector, con la seriedad de quien sabe que lo mas verdadero linda a veces con lo mas risible, una vision personal, irreverente y ferozmente sincera del mundo actual, canallesco, desorbitado, y con frecuencia grotesco.

Andy Warhol, y esto es algo que ni sus más acendrados enemigos osarían discutir, ha marcado, de una manera u otra, la escena artísitca y social de los últimos treinta años. Nombre señero del Por-Art en los sesenta; impulsor de todo tipo de aventuras vanguardistas en su celebre Factory -desde bandas de rock como la Velvet Underground hasta peliculas como Sleep, Mario Banana o Lonesome Cowboys, clasicos del cine "underground", sin olvidar algunos de los "happenings" mas estrepitosos de la historia-, se convirtio en los sesenta, con su revista Interview, en todopoderoso arbitro que decidia "quien era quien" y a quien otorgaba los codiciados minutos de celebridad en la sociedad neoyorquina. Homosexual, vogeur, incansable observador de las costumbres de su tiempo e infatigable frecuentador de salones, discotecas y de todos los lugares de encuentro de ricos, modernos y famosos.

Before he found fame as the father of Pop Art, Andy Warhol was an accomplished advertising illustrator and commercial artist for fashion tastemakers such as Barneys, Neiman Marcus, I. Miller, Glamour, Mademoiselle, and Harpers Bazaar. This delicately beautiful, colorfully playful, and hugely influential fashion illustration work from the 1950s has never before been collected in a book. A pop object in itself, Andy Warhol Fashion is a fun and gorgeous gallery of hundreds of his most delightful images. These witty drawings -- fanciful shoes, chic hats, smart suits, and perfect accessories to match -- showcase his unique ability to find inspiration in the everyday and elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary. Sprinkled with Warhols perceptively funny observations (When you think about it, department stores are kind of like museums.), and a reflection on Warhols influence in the fashion world by Simon Doonan, Andy Warhol Fashion is a must-have acquisition for anyone with style.

This rarely seen collection of explicit photos and drawings shows a completely different side of Andy Warhols creative eye.These nude images of men serve as a visual diary of Warhols obsession with naked male beauty. Here are hundreds of pictures of male nudespaintings, photos, illustrations, silk-screens, Polaroids and morethat depict just how much appreciation Warhol had for the male physiqueevery inch of it. And accompanying this private collection of the artists work are written perceptions by Warhol on art and sex, love, love of the male form, and playful swooning over men.
