Andrew Warhola, meglio conosciuto come Andy Warhol, fu una figura centrale del movimento Pop Art, ottenendo fama come pittore, regista d'avanguardia, produttore discografico e autore. Warhol divenne celebre a livello globale per la sua produzione artistica, che spesso sfumava i confini tra arte e commercialismo. Il suo lavoro, che si confrontava con diversi circoli sociali, da figure bohémien a élite intellettuali, continua a ispirare e a provocare dibattiti. L'eredità artistica di Warhol rimane ricca, con la sua influenza che risuona in molteplici aspetti della cultura contemporanea.

Mit 250 Fotografien. Deutschsprachige Erstausgabe
Überall, wo er hinging, hatte Andy Warhol eine Kamera dabei. Dieser Band enthält eine Auswahl aus zehn Jahren: außergewöhnliche Aufnahmen, die die ambivalente Schönheit und die unauflösbaren Widersprüche Amerikas zeigen. Warhol fotografierte Wrestler und Politiker, die Schönen und Reichen ebenso wie Obdachlose. Viele bekannte Persönlichkeiten finden sich auf diesen Seiten: Truman Capote mit den frischen Narben nach einem Facelifting, Madonna, die sich hinter einem brünetten Bob versteckt, ein nackter Keith Haring, der gerade im Meer badet. Warhol, der als Kind osteuropäischer Einwanderer als Andrew Warhola geboren wurde und zum wichtigsten Künstler der USA avancierte, war gleichzeitig dessen bester Entlarver und Deuter. Amerika ist eine sehr persönliche Sammlung von 250 Fotografien, durchsetzt mit Anekdoten und aphorismenhaften Reflexionen, die einem die USA besser erklären als dicke Wälzer. Das Buch, das zum ersten Mal auf Deutsch erscheint, ist eine zeitlose Momentaufnahme über Starkult, Kommerzwut, Schönheitswahn, also des American Dreams und Wahns.
A unique collection of brilliant quotations from the legendary Pop artistOne of the most influential artists of his time and ours, Andy Warhol is nearly as renowned for what he said as for what he did. Indeed, he is so quotable that things he never said are endlessly and plausibly attributed to him, including, fittingly, the most celebrated fake Warhol saying--"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." Warhol-isms separates legend from fact to present a unique and comprehensive collection of authentic quotations from the Pop artist. Gathered from interviews and other primary sources, these deadpan, droll, ironic, and sincere gems--in which a superficial embrace of superficiality often disguises provocative, unconventional ideas--provide compelling insights into the life and work of an artist who has left an indelible mark on art and popular culture.Select quotations from the book:I think an artist is anybody who does something well.I went to [a psychiatrist] once, and he never called me back.They always say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.I've never met a person I couldn't call a beauty.New things are always better than old things.I'm still a commercial artist. I was always a commercial artist.
