Andy Warhol is one of the most iconic figures in twentieth-century art, an enigmatic man who not only altered the definition of art but also in his wake left a vast and staggeringly complex record of his daily activities. Phaidon Press is pleased to present the Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonne, the definitive record of the artists paintings, sculptures, and drawings: some 15,000 works produced by Warhol between 1948 and 1987. Also included is an incredible array of rarely published source material: newspaper scraps, movie star publicity stills that inspired Warhols endlessly fascinating life and career. All of their findings are documented in this unprecendented project. Supplementary figures to the texts illustrate source materials Warhol appropriated for his works -newspaper articles and advertisements, soup cans, publicity stills- as well as related drawings, works by other artists, and studio and exhibition views. Volume 1 includes classic and much-prized Warhols.
