DESCRIPTION:
And if you're not, this artfully designed volume may very well turn you into one. --Cathy Curtis. If you're a fan, your bookshelf is crying out for Andy Warhol: 365 Takes. Drawn from diverse sources, including The Andy Warhol Diaries, the texts illuminate the images with useful tidbits of insider information. This great compendium of Warholiana is marred only by the occasionally smug, fanzine tone of remarks by The Andy Warhol Museum staff. Facing pages juxtapose a Warhol image with a well-chosen morsel of text. Either way, you get an illustrated tour of Warhol's friends, lovers, personal history and obsessions (shoes, religion, jewels, mortality), as well as his art. Of course, much of the famous work is here as well—the Death and Disaster Series, the Brillo box
In 1994, seven years after the artist's death, The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh became the repository not only for a substantial body of his artwork and films, but also for the Time Capsules into which he obsessively deposited a lifetime's worth of ephemera and personal memorabilia. He was also a notorious collector who saved practically everything that came his way. For this book—created in the same format as Abrams' best-selling Earth From Above: 365 Days—the museum has gathered highlights of its collection. Illustrated with almost 400 objects, from paintings to party invitations, the volume also features lively commentaries by the museum's staff as well as quotes from Warhol's own irreverent writings. Andy Warhol was one of the most compelling figures of the 20th-century art world whose body of work transformed the landscape of contemporary art. Timed
Good book, but not great West I was expecting this book to be better. It has an awkward size for a photo book and the format is a bit odd. Some pages run horizontal and some are vertical, so you have to constantly move the book back and forth to read text and look at pictures. It also seems like pictures are just scattered around throughout and in my opinion the quality of the pictures could be better. (I wish they were larger.) There are also a lot of quotes of things Andy had said himself throughout his career as an artist, and brief descriptions of his paintings, etc.. Like the book but it didn't come in the best sierra Boissonnault Like the book but it didn't come in the best condition. There were dents and superficial scratches on it. Kinda bummed as I wanted to have this as a nice coffee table book.. "Andy Warhol Andy Warhol 365 Takes - Totally cool !!! Another great Warhol book that showcases this mans amazing art & design practice & equally amazing lifestyle. The great thing about this book is that each page is dedicated to individual pieces from Warhol's extensive oeu'vre. Each image is accompanied with a brief synopsis around the history or processes involved with the image.
