King of Pop Art Andy Warhol is one of the greatest artists of all
time. Rarely venturing into public without his camera and tape recorder,
Warhol was a great observer and documentarist of the American social
scene.
Somewhere within the iconic images, carefully-made personae,
star-studded milieu, million-dollar price tags and famous quotes lies
the real Andy Warhol. But who was he?
With Andy Warhol, Robert Shore unfolds the multi-dimensional Warhol,
dissecting his existence as undisputed art-world hotshot, recreating the
amazing circle that surrounded him, and tracing his path to stardom back
through his early career and his awkward and unusual youth. After
Warhol, nothing would be the same - he changed art forever. Find out how
with his remarkable story.
'Lives of the Artists' is a new series of brief artists biographies
from Laurence King Publishing. The series takes as its inspiration
Giorgio Vasari's five-hundred-year-old masterwork, updating it with
modern takes on the lives of key artists past and present. Focusing on
the life of the artist rather than examining their work, each book also
includes key images illustrating the artist's life.
