Andy Warhol / by Danto, Arthur Coleman,1924-;
Includes bibliographical references (p. 149-150) and index.The window at Bonwit's -- Pop, politics, and the gap between art and life -- The Brillo box -- Moving images -- The first death -- Andy Warhol enterprises -- Religion and common experience."In a work of great wisdom and insight, art critic and philosopher Arthur Danto delivers a compact, masterful tour of Andy Warhol's personal, artistic, and philosophical transformations. Danto traces the evolution of the pop artist, including his early reception, relationships with artists such as Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, and the Factory phenomenon. He offers close readings of individual Warhol works, including their social context and philosophical dimensions, key differences with predecessors such as Marcel Duchamp,and parallels with successors like Jeff Koons. Danto brings to bear encyclopedic knowledge of Warhol's time and shows us Warhol as an endlessly multidimensional figure - artist, political activist, filmmaker, writer, philosopher who retains permanent residence in our national imagination. Danto suggests that "what makes him an American icon is that his subject matter is always something that the ordinary American understands: everything, or nearly everything he made art out of came straight out of the daily lives of very ordinary Americans .... The tastes and values of ordinary persons all at once were inseparable from advanced art."--Book jacket.

Andy Warhol, 1928-1987 : commerce into art / by Honnef, Klaus.; Fahy, Carole,translator.; Burns, I.,translator.; Warhol, Andy,1928-1987.;
A critical observer of American society, Andy Warhol (1928-1987) is recognized today as the most important exponent of the Pop Art movement. He overturned the traditional understanding of art and placed in its stead a concept that retracts the individuality of the artist. Warhol was a critical observer of American society, exposing his compatriots' consumerism in his paintings ( Campbell and Brillo series), as well as their fascination for sensational journalism. In 1963 Warhol founded his Factory in New York, literally a manufactory of ideas and work, which influenced film in the 1960s, published the influential magazine Interview in the late 1970s, and also produced Warhol's own artwork: Warhol conceived the idea, and a worker in his factory carried it out. The work remained (consciously) unsigned--a fact which nevertheless did nothing to diminish Warhol's reputation. He once complained that rich New Yorkers would willingly hang his Electric Chain in their living rooms--as long as its colours co-ordinated with the wallpaper and draperies.About the Series: Every book in TASCHEN's Basic Art Series features: a detailed chronological summary of the artist's life and work, covering the cultural and historical importance of the artist approximately 100 color illustrations with explanatory captions and a concise biography.

Self-portraits / by Rebel, Ernst.; Wolf, Norbert,1949-editor.;
Me, myself, and IIs a self-portrait of an artist a medium of reflection--or is it merely a black void, the 'false mirror, ' as the surrealist Rene Magritte entitled his 1928 painting of an eye? Do self-portraits reveal how artists see themselves, or how they wish others would see them? From the 15th century to today, this collection brings together many of the best examples of self-portraiture in art history whilst exploring these and many more questions pertaining to the art of self-reflection.Featured artists: Meister Gerlachus, Fra Filippo Lippi, Albrecht Durer, Giorgione, Parmigianino, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Peter Paul Rubens, Salvator Rosa, Nicolas Poussin, David Bailly, Diego Da Silva Y Velazquez, Rembrandt Harmensz.

Pop art / by Honnef, Klaus.; Grosenick, Uta,editor.;
"Peaking in the 1960s, Pop Art began as a revolt against mainstream approaches to art and culture and evolved into a wholesale interrogation of modern society, consumer culture, and the role of the artist and artwork. Focusing on issues of materialism, celebrity, and media, Pop Art drew on mass-market sources, from advertising imagery to comic books, from Hollywood's most famous faces to the packaging of consumer products, the latter epitomized by Andy Warhol's Campbell's soup cans. As well as challenging the establishment with the elevation of such popular, banal, and kitschy images, Pop Art also deployed methods of mass-production, reducing the role of the individual artist with mechanized techniques such as screen printing. With featured artists including Andy Warhol, Allan Jones, Ed Ruscha, Robert Indiana, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Roy Lichtenstein, this book introduces the full reach and influence of a defining modernist movement.Pop art -- Peter Blake: On the balcony -- Allan D'Arcangelo: U.S. Highway 1, number 5 -- Jim Dine: Double isometric self-portrait (Serape) -- Red Grooms: Hollywood (Jean Harlow) -- Richard Hamilton: Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing? -- My Marilyn (paste up) -- David Hockney: Tea painting in an illusionistic style -- Robert Indiana: The big eight -- Jasper Johns: Flag -- Allen Jones: Perfect match -- Roy Lichtenstein: Takka takka -- M-maybe -- Yellow and green brushstrokes -- Claes Oldenburg: Pastry case I -- Soft washstand -- Giant fagends -- Peter Phillips: Lions versus eagles -- Custom painting no. 5 -- Mel Ramos: Velveeta -- Robert Rauschenberg: Black market -- James Rosenquist: Untitled (Joan Crawford) -- Edward Ruscha: Standard station -- Hollywood -- George Segal: Woman washing her feet in a sink -- The restaurant window I -- Wayne Thiebaud: Cake counter -- Andy Warhol: 129 die in jet -- Gold Marilyn Monroe -- Two dollar bills (front and rear) -- Campbell's soup can I -- Tom Wesselmann: Still life no. 20 -- Bathtub no. 3 -- Great American nude no. 98.

Just kids / [electronic resource]. by Smith, Patti.; Smith, Patti.;
Narrator: Patti Smith.It was the summer Coltrane died, the summer of love and riots, and the summer when a chance encounter in Brooklyn led two young people on a path of art, devotion, and initiation.Patti Smith would evolve as a poet and performer, and Robert Mapplethorpe would direct his highly provocative style toward photography. Bound in innocence and enthusiasm, they traversed the city from Coney Island to Forty-Second Street, and eventually to the celebrated round table of Max’s Kansas City, where the Andy Warhol contingent held court. In 1969, the pair set up camp at the Hotel Chelsea and soon entered a community of the famous and infamous, the influential artists of the day and the colorful fringe. It was a time of heightened awareness, when the worlds of poetry, rock and roll, art, and sexual politics were colliding and exploding. In this milieu, two kids made a pact to take care of each other. Scrappy, romantic, committed to create, and fueled by their mutual dreams and drives, they would prod and provide for one another during the hungry years. -- provided by Amazon.com.Electronic reproduction.

Madonna : a rebel life / by Gabriel, Mary,1955-author.;
"With her arrival on the pop music scene in the early 1980s, Madonna generated nothing short of an explosion-as great as that of Elvis or the Beatles or Michael Jackson-taking the nation by storm with her liberated politics and breathtaking talent. Within two years of her 1983 debut album, a shopping mall in California was nicknamed 'The Madonna Mall' because it was overrun with 'Material Girls.' Later that year, the flagship Macy's store in Manhattan held a Madonna lookalike contest featuring Andy Warhol as a judge, and opened a department called 'Madonna-land.' Everywhere, both women and men gravitated to the singer and actor as an emblem of a new age, one in which the women's liberation could shed the buttoned-down demeanor and reserved seriousness of the '60s and '70s and continue to make tremendous strides for a new generation. Topping charts again and again with provocative, visionary music and videos, Madonna brought queer and sexually-curious identities into the mainstream, fiercely defending a person's right to love whomever, and the space to be who they wanted. Even after almost 45 years in the spotlight, no stranger to controversy, Madonna stands as one of the staunchest supporters of women's rights and continues to represent a lionized emblem of women's liberation throughout the world"--
