Art

This is a catalogue that tries to reveal Warhol's personal view on different themes and refines our concept of not only the artist, but of the times in which he lived as well. In appreciating Andy Warhol's body of work, one is constantly awed by its sheer volume there is always something new to see. This catalogue comes a step closer to defining the prodigious pop artist's legacy. It illuminates Warhol's personal connection and engagement with themes such as icons, consumer society, politics, religion, and the self, trying to reveal the autobiographical aspect, the artist in first person behind the pictorial plane, the subjectivity behind the machine.
