They are shown idle or strutting, proud or even bored with their beauty, while the artist draws them entranced. They rarely make eye contact with their enthusiastic observer, just as Warhol focuses on their form and erotic qualities.

He produced over a thousand elegant and seemingly simple life drawings, but his plan to compile them into a monograph never materialized.

It includes an introductory text by its editor, Michael Dayton Hermann, of the Andy Warhol Foundation, and essays by Warhol’s biographer Blake Gopnik and art critic Drew Zeiba. Poems by James Baldwin, Thom Gunn, Harold Norse, Essex Hemphill, and Allen Ginsberg create moments of introspection that expand the themes and moods present in the drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2088\" data-end=\"2567\"\u003eThe style of the drawings evokes the sketches of Jean Cocteau and even Matisse, with a line as agile as it is refined and precise. Meanwhile, the mischievous voyeurism is typical of Warhol, and even the boldest drawings contain a kind of playful humor, a sense of ironic detachment that would become a personal hallmark of Warhol. His confident line depicts a large number of striking characters but also reveals much about this enigmatic artist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57131226562904,"sku":"LIB-AN-TA-877","price":80.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/warhol_early_drawings_va_int_3d_05345_2009250917_id_1321323.jpg?v=1776463833"},{"product_id":"steve-schapiro-andy-warhol-and-friends","title":"Steve Schapiro: Andy Warhol and Friends","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1965, Steve Schapiro began photographing Andy Warhol for Life magazine. At that time, Warhol was solidifying his reputation as a major pop artist, inspired by mass culture and its consumer goods. His dark sunglasses, platinum blonde wig, and sober public demeanor made this enigmatic, charismatic, and extremely ambitious artist an unmistakable figure. Warhol knew perfectly well that he could only achieve star status by surrounding himself with people who documented his rise. Schapiro, who said he mostly just “stayed calm and smiled a lot,” was as ambitious and hardworking as Warhol. He was the right person to capture in images Warhol’s unstoppable rise and his evolution from a New York cult artist to a 20th-century icon. Ironically, Schapiro’s report was never published in Life, so many of his photographs are being seen for the first time in this volume. To do so, his negatives, which had until then lain dormant deep in his archive, were carefully scanned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween 1965 and 1966, Warhol was at the peak of his artistic creation. Schapiro photographed Warhol accompanied by his entourage of superstars—including legends like Edie Sedgwick and Nico—at openings, during the filming of his underground movie Camp, in the production of his silkscreens at the Factory, and while wandering the streets of New York. Schapiro was also present at the opening of Warhol’s first museum retrospective at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, visited by thousands of people. That night, Warhol was crowned the new cool king of art: it was the beginning of “Andymania.” The last stop of the “Warhol Express” was Los Angeles, where Andy presented his ironic Silver Clouds at the Ferus Gallery, stayed at the picturesque The Castle, and organized and filmed a performance by the legendary band Velvet Underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than 120 photographs by Steve Schapiro are juxtaposed in this volume with works by Warhol created and exhibited during the same period. The plates of the artworks were printed separately and pasted into the book. Among the included pieces are Before and After, 4, 1962; Colored Campbell’s Soup Can, 1965; S\u0026amp;H Green Stamps, 1965; One Dollar Bills (Fronts), 1962; 100 Cans, 1962; Flowers, 1965; Shot Red Marilyn, 1964; Elvis I and II [Elvis Diptych] [Ferus Type], 1963–64; Green Disaster #2 (Green Disaster Ten Times), 1963; and White Disaster (White Car Crash 19 Times), 1963. The texts include an interview with Steve Schapiro, who passed away in early 2022, as well as an essay and extensive captions written by Blake Gopnik, Warhol’s official biographer. Andy Warhol and Friends 1965–1966 is the definitive portrait of a revolutionary artist who decisively shaped postwar American culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57131254415704,"sku":"9783836599177","price":60.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9783836599177.jpg?v=1776463970"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/collections\/andy-warhol-9548967.jpg?v=1762435563","url":"https:\/\/www.plasticbooks.uk\/en\/collections\/andy-warhol.oembed","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
