ON&BY Andy Warhol

Edición de la obra ON&BY Andy Warhol

"The socio-cultural impact of Andy Warhol – painter, sculptor, printmaker, filmmaker, publisher, TV personality, socialite, graphic artist, collector, illustrator, rock impresario, photographer, model and author – is incalculable. A pioneer in virtually every media in which he worked – from his unmistakeable blotted-line advertising illustrations in the 1950s; to photography-based paintings of car wrecks and movie stars in the 1960s; to pre-Stonewall cult films that dared to explore sexually provocative subjects; to his re-invention of the celebrity magazine in the 1970s with Interview – Andy Warhol also influenced such contemporary staples as reality TV, computer art and the rock-gig light show. As the inventor of the Polaroid selfie and master of the tweet-like short epithet (‘It’s so nice to be invited to your own house by the person who’s renting it – you feel at home and you’re still making money’), Andy Warhol seems only to grow in cultural relevance in the twenty-first century"--Back cover.
