This is the first book ever published that examines Warhol’s use of photography as inspiration, artistic resource and documentary means.
Extensively illustrated and accompanied by texts from Heinrich, Candice Breitz, Hubertus Butin, Ludger Derenthal, Mark Francis, Heather Hess, Margery King, Karin Schick, and other contributing art historians.
Being the first book publication that pays tribute to the entire context of Andy Warhol’s extensive photographic uvre. Andy Warhol stood both in front of and behind the camera lens. Instead of creating his own motives, he adopted them from other people’s photographs. He communicated with people by photographing them- anytime, anywhere. The core of Andy Warhol’s work is formed by photography and the act of photographing.
Accompanying the extensive plate sections are essays by renowned art historians and interviews with personalities from Andy Warhol’s world. A final section of the book is dedicated to Andy Warhol and the Factory as seen by other photographers like Duane Michals, Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, Robert Mapplethorpe, Oliveiro Toscani, a. o.
