Description - ON&BY Andy Warhol by Gilda Williams
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.
Edited and introduced by art critic Gilda Williams, this volume brings together key Warhol writings such as a (a novel); THE Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B and Back Again); Blue Movie; Exposures; POPism: The Warhol Sixties; America; Andy Warhol's Party Book and The Andy Warhol Diaries alongside a selection of the most notable writers on Warhol's life and work: Callie Angell, Saul Anton, Art & Language, Roland Barthes, Gregory Battcock, Gretchen Berg, Benjamin H.D.
