The Andy Warhol Show Book
Item # 18079
Prolific, mercurial, thought-provoking, charming, dynamic, confusing--just like the artist himself. Andy Warhol's films explore the gamut of human emotion.
From the time he obtained his first film camera in 1963, up until his death in 1987, Warhol explored and created moving images ranging from epic films, to personal portraits, to programs for cable television, to music videos. In fact, in a mere five years (1963-1968) he produced nearly 650 films including hundreds of silent screen tests--portrait films--and dozens of full length movies, in styles ranging from minimalist avant-garde to commercial exploitation.B" His films and videos capture the rich and raw texture of the fertile cultural milieu in which he lived and worked, and are crucial to the understanding of Warhol's work in other media.
