Product Description
Book Description
This new catalogue documents a recent exhibition at the Starmach Gallery in Krakow, presenting Andy Warhol's Polaroid work during the last two decades of his life. The 65 color images here include Warhol's self-portraits--occasionally in drag or another kind of costume--as well as Warhol's pictures of celebrities and artists from all fields. Included here are artists such as Keith Haring, Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, Francesco Clemente, and Jean-Michel Basquiat; writers such as William S. Burroughs and Truman Capote; and actors including Liza Minelli and Dennis Hopper, among numerous others. These images mark out a territory all their own within Warhol's oeuvre, a space where both living humanity and the spectacle in which it is woven can coexist. Also featured here is ''King for a Day,'' Francesco Clemente's brilliant and revelatory essay on Andy Warhol.

Very little for the money
Jan 30 2002
This large sized, but very thin book is printed on a large format but the photographs within are to scale (ie. Polaroid instant photo size). Very little text, though it does provide technical information, such as the size and date of each photograph at the end. The only problem is that the techinical information is almost exactly the same on each Polaroid snapshot, with the same dimensions and film type used, etc. It also only spans a short time period of Warhol's work. Very boring.

Interesting perspectives of the life & times of an modern icon ...
Dec 14 2007
I loved it, but then again I'm partial to Warhol's iconoclastic style in general. What I liked about this book is that it gives a "behind-the-scenes" peek at the artist and the people he surrounded himself with. The photos are raw and engaging, and they're right there, in your face, untouched. Oh, and the celebrity photos you see are just great (lots of famous people). And of course, seeing the world through Andy's eyes is always a new experience. If you're interested in the human side of the artist, as well as some of his lesser-known works, I recommend this book to you.
