His work in advertising, fashion, film, and music videos featured popular everyday subjects, openly acknowledged wide-ranging influences, and had a fascination with popular culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLooking at his background in an immigrant family, ideas of death and religion, sexuality, and ambition to push traditional artistic boundaries, the book reveals Warhol as an artist who succeeded and failed in equal measure and who embraced the establishment while cavorting with the underground. It explores Warhol's flirtation with the commercial world of celebrity alongside his socially engaged collaborations and advocacy of alternative lifestyles. Including many iconic as well as lesser-known works, this book highlights Warhol's conceptual ambition within the shifting creative and political landscape, permitting a broad view of how Warhol, and his work, mark a period of cultural transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"book-meta pb-3\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"secondary-header mb-2\"\u003eAbout The Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGregor Muir\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis director of collection, Tate Modern.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eYilmaz Dziewior\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eis director of Museum Ludwig, Cologne.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKenneth Brummel\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis associate curator, Modern Art, Art Gallery of Ontario.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephan Diederich\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis curator, Museum Ludwig, Cologne.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiedrich Diederichsen\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a music journalist and cultural critic.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eOlivia Laing\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eis a novelist and cultural critic.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFiontan Moran\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis assistant curator, Tate Modern.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharlie Porter\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eis a fashion journalist.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMartine Syms\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis an artist. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"book-attributes\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePublish Date: \u003c\/span\u003eApril 27, 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eFormat: \u003c\/span\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/span\u003eRizzoli Electa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eTrim Size: \u003c\/span\u003e8-5\/8 x 11-3\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePages: \u003c\/span\u003e224\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rizzoli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39380685258775,"sku":"","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1705\/1039\/products\/ScreenShot2021-09-10at10.38.40AM.png?v=1631295591"},{"product_id":"andy-warhol-velvet-rage-and-beauty","title":"Andy Warhol: Velvet Rage and Beauty","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eAndy Warhol’s continuous pursuit of ideal beauty—visible in a body of his work that is brought here together for the first time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndy Warhol is arguably one of the most widely known and discussed artists of the twentieth century. While his depictions of consumer products and celebrities led him to become household famous, there is a red thread throughout his career, starting even in the late forties until his untimely death in 1987. In the eighties Warhol was continuously searching to visualize an ideal of beauty, male beauty, finding form and creating lasting images of what he desired. He visualized and therefore eternalized this continuous pursuit of ideal beauty.\u003cbr\u003eFrom the early line and blotted line drawings to his screen tests and moving image experiments in the sixties, the torso paintings in the seventies through his collaborations with Jean-Michel Basquiat, there is a continuous search to express an ideal of male beauty. During his lifetime these works were either considered inappropriate, immoral, deviant or even pornographic and therefore illegal. Many of these works never received the public exposure and recognition that they deserve. Neue Nationalgalerie is for the first time putting together a large survey focusing on this thematic and central aspect throughout Warhol’s different production phases and stages of career. This publication offers an insight into a Warhol, that during his lifetime never had a real “coming-out”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarhol died in 1987 at the age of only 58. He left behind an incredibly complex and influential body of work, which during his lifetime never experienced the open acceptance that we now have to look at these specific bodies of work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: ‎ Prestel (September 3, 2024)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLanguage: ‎ English\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eHardcover: ‎ 304 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDimensions: ‎ 9.25 x 1.13 x 12.44 inches\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rizzoli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42225486168087,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1705\/1039\/files\/2C1B8F1D-EF9C-42C7-A858-C1CD150CAF2C_1_201_a.jpg?v=1744225502"}],"url":"https:\/\/cultureedit.com\/collections\/rizzoli.oembed","provider":"CULTUREEDIT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
