Andy Warhol books

The Philosophy of Andy Warhol : (From A to B and Back Again)

by: Andy Warhol
I recently had lunch at the Andy Warhol museum in Pittsburgh PA from where I purchased this book. With me was a very intellectual Indian guy who hadn't heard of Warhol nor was he familiar with his work. He wanted to understand who this person was and understand his significance.

Without thinking much about it, I explained that Warhol was a central figure in the pop art scene who made the spirit of art--the ability to see everyday things in a different light and from multiple perspectives--available to the common man.

Andy Warhol's Colors

by: Susan Goldman Rubin
I was very excited to find this book for my child. I love Andy Warhol myself so I figured I'd enjoy it too. My kid LOVES it. The pics are great, with just a little bit of writing. It's also made with hard pages so it's difficult to distroy. We've read it over and over and it's still a big hit.

The Andy Warhol Diaries

by: Andy Warhol, Pat Hackett
That's an interesting book because it offers you a real close idea about who Andy Warhol was and how he went about his daily routine. You gotta have patience because it can get boring at times. Too much unnecessary information ( like how much he paid for the taxi on his way home ) some would say, but then again, if you are a fan of Warhol and his way of thinking, many parts of the book will just make you laugh!It's 800 pages long!

Andy Warhol: Giant Size

by: Editors of Phaidon Press, Dave Hickey
This is a real great (and large ;-) ) book with beatiful reproductions of Andy Warhol. My children love to go through it. It was also for sale on the Warhol exhibition in the "Stedelijk Museum" in Amsterdam last year.
