› Find signed collectible books: 'About Face: Andy Warhol Portraits'
In the early 1950s he sketched them. In the '60s he filmed them. And during the '70s and '80s he primarily silk-screened them. But whatever the medium, faces were a dominant theme of Andy Warhol's work throughout his career. And though his portrait work was as often decried by art critics as it was praised by viewers, he never wavered in his interest. About Face: Andy Warhol Portraits is, as the title suggests, a narrowly focused book that explores this favorite subject. Among the book's 75 or so plates, images of Jackie, Marilyn, and Mao join portraits of subjects who need last names to be identified and of Warhol himself. Readers will notice that all of the images--movie stills of Edie Sedgwick and Lou Reed, Polaroids of Warhol in drag, early Interview magazine covers--are unmistakably the work of the same artist. Warhol's choice of wide-ranging portrait subjects, from famous pop-culture figures to anonymous friends and faces drawn from his imagination, allowed him to explore issues of identity, celebrity, and even portraiture itself. With its lovely plates and scholarly essays, this slim but expertly produced book--published to coincide with an exhibition at Hartford's Wadsworth Atheneum in the fall of 1999 and the Miami Art Museum in spring 2000--would make a worthy addition to the library of any Warhol fan. --Jordana Moskowitz [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'America'
'He created his own universe and became its star'. (David Cronenberg, "Guardian"). Andy Warhol carried a camera with him everywhere he went and, taken from ten years of extraordinary shots, his America aspires to the strange beauty and staggering contradictions of the country itself. Exploring his greatest obsessions - including image and celebrity - he photographs wrestlers and politicians, the beautiful wealthy and the disenfranchised poor, Capote with the fresh scars of a facelift and Madonna hiding beneath a brunette bob. He writes about the country he loves, wishing he had died when he was shot, commercialism, fame and beauty. An America without Warhol is almost as inconceivable as Warhol without America, and this touching, witty tribute is the great artist of the superficial at his most deeply personal. [via]
