Warhol Headlines

Warhol Headlines Kısa Özet

Andy Warhol made headlines in every sense, creating numerous series of art pieces that used or referenced tabloids throughout his career; they are explored together in this vividly illustrated book as a coherent body of work and a major theme of his oeuvre, expressing Warhol`s obsession with commercial, popular, and disposable culture. His headline pieces were realized in a range of formats, from two-dimensional prints to media like film, video, and television, and they follow the changes in the technological means employed to deliver the news, from the 1950s until the artist`s death in 1987, itself a headline. The catalogue reproduces more than 80 works, from Warhol`s earliest drawings and paintings of newspaper headlines to his screen-printed canvases, photographs, and electronic media, concluding with collaborative works he produced with Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
