Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
In appreciating Andy Warhol's body of work, one is constantly awed by its sheer volume-there is always something new to see. This catalogue raisonne, updated from previous editions with 500 new images, comes a step closer to defining the prodigious pop artist's legacy in a medium he re-imagined for modern times, printmaking, and which was central to his life's work. Numerous of his most famous images can be found here, including the electric chair and Marilyn Monroe, along with reams of ephemera that bear testament to the artist's restless, experimental, rarely uninteresting energy. There are t-shirts and advertisements, commissioned portraits and shopping bags, generally rendered in Warhol's signature palette of hot, citrus-y colors. Images of gems, sunsets and historical figures refine our concept of not only the artist, but of the times in which he lived as well. With well-turned essays by Arthur Danto and Donna De Salvo, this document will be required reading for all Warhol scholars and fascinating material for anyone interested in the course of 20th century art.

From Library Journal
No one can doubt that Andy Warhol has influenced the American art world both as an artist and as a personality. Feldman and Schellmann's catalog provides the specialist with a multitude of color images that do much to illuminate Warhol as a printmaker. Unfortunately, the reproductions take up less space than the blank areas surrounding them. These small reproductions are preceded by two brief essays that provide a less-than-adequate introduction to the prints. Geldzahler has only praise for Warhol and dutifully acclaims his ``contribution to art history.'' Roberta Bernstein's essay is more substantive; she is more analytical and willing to make critical judgments. Though useful as a catalog of Warhol's 364 prints, this book is not what it could be.

Triumph of Quantity,
By calmly - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Andy Warhol Prints: A Catalogue Raisonne: 1962-1987 (Hardcover)
All the prints, those published and unpublished by Warhol. A lot of color and the layout is good. There's a good essay (by Donna De Salvo) to introduce what Warhol's printmaking was about.As much as it may impress, seeing all these prints, unfortunately, conveys a Warhol on autopilot.The "machine" he spoke of wishing to be. Apart from a few famous themes Warhol's prints may represent a triumph of quantity over quality. Prints of many different contents but of the same mechanism, silkscreening, begin to look alike. The selection of images, initially striking in the few deservedly famous subjects (e.g. Marilyn, Jackie, the electric chair, flowers, self-portraits, the soup can, Mao), seems mostly mundane, perhaps tacky. No artist has perhaps created so much forgettable work. But the diversity holds the promise of leading you (and me) beyond any initial limiting set of favorites. Warhol attacked from many directions. After all, how much I'd like to have Marilyns or his flowers on my walls, to begin with. You have plenty to pick from in this book: even finding ten great images may be worthwhile. And, over time, as you change, your favorite Warhol prints may change. At the back of the book are a chronology and exhibition history which focus on the prints. At almost 400 large pages using excellent paper, this good value is made to stay. Nevertheless, one is left wondering whether the drive to create or the drive for wealth was stronger. 9 of 11 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: Andy Warhol Prints: A Catalogue Raisonne: 1962-1987 (Hardcover)
With a lot of so-called bargains on ebay, this really helps to verify if it is an athentic Warhol print. Good are the infos on Warhol's "after" prints like Sunday B. Morning.
