This book, featuring more than 300 portraits compiled by the gallerist Tony Shafrazi, is the most comprehensive presentation of this important part of the artist's oeuvre. Beginning with the "icon" of the series, Marilyn Monroe, in 1962 and continuing up to the last year of his life, Andy Warhol created a virtual museum of personalities, both living and deceased, from the worlds of film, show business, fashion, art, literature and politics. Characteristic of Warhol's unique style of portraiture is the use of silkscreens made from polaroid photographs. He would prime his silkscreens with a rich repertoire of colors, both bold and expressionistic, producing some of the most distinctive portraits of our time and reviving the genre more successfully than anyone since John Singer Sargent. The book begins with Marilyn Monroe and continues with portraits of Elizabeth Taylor, Jacqueline Kennedy, Truman Capote, David Hockney, John Lennon, Judy Garland, Rudolph Nureyev, Mick Jagger, Aretha Franklin, Liza Minnelli, Yves Saint Laurent, Muhammad Ali, Princess Diana and Prince Charles, et.al. - an extraordinary gallery of some of the most famous and influential figures of the 20th century, by one of its most important artists. All reproduced in their original square aspect ratio in full color, full page high quality printing and paper. less
