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.

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.

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.

This rarely seen collection of explicit photos and drawings shows a completely different side of Andy Warhol’s creative eye.These nude images of men serve as a visual diary of Warhol’s obsession with naked male beauty. Here are hundreds of pictures of male nudes—paintings, photos, illustrations, silk-screens, Polaroids and more—that depict just how much appreciation Warhol had for the male physique…every inch of it. And accompanying this private collection of the artist’s work are written perceptions by Warhol on art and sex, love, love of the male form, and playful swooning over men. Introduction by Alan Cumming. Explicit color illustrations throughout. 240 pages, softcover.

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.

Warhol ha marcado la escena artística y social de los últimos treinta años. Nombre señero del Pop-Art en los sesenta, impulsor de aventuras vanguardistas en su célebre Factory –desde bandas de rock como la Velvet Underground hasta películas como Sleep o Lonesome Cowboys, sin olvidar algunos de los «happenings» más estrepitosos de la historia–, se convirtió, con su revista Interview, en el árbitro que decidía «quién era quién» en la sociedad neoyorquina.

Registro minucioso de todo lo que hacían y decían sus amigos y conocidos, por sus páginas desfilan desde Truman Capote a Jackie Onassis, desde Lennon y Yoko Ono a Donald Trump, Madonna y Mick Jagger, en una crónica de la modernidad escrita desde el centro del imperio. Una visión absolutamente franca de los personajes más célebres de nuestra época y de sí mismo, tal vez el personaje más misterioso y fascinante de toda esta glamourosa galería.

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

A cultural storm swept through the 1960s - Pop Art, Bob Dylan, psychedelia, underground movies - and at its centre sat a bemused young artist with silver hair: Andy Warhol. Andy knew everybody (from the cultural commissioner of New York to drug-driven drag queens) and everybody knew Andy. His studio, the Factory, was the place: where he created the large canvases of soup cans and Pop icons that defined Pop Art, where one could listen to the Velvet Underground and rub elbows with Edie Sedgwick and where Warhol himself could observe the comings and goings of the avant-guarde.
