Andy Warhol: Headshots Details
A beautiful volume that sheds light on a less well-known part of Warhol's oeuvre, Andy Warhol: Headshots shows the artist turning his artistry and intelligence towards portrait-making. Like much of Warhol's best work, these snapshots play against a world of images and signatures where the authentic version of an individual is seemingly nonexistent.

Reviews
"Andy Warhol Headshots" brings together a large number of portraits that exemplify the style of this legendary artist. The book includes an interesting introductory essay by Bob Colacello, who notes that Warhol "approached the portraits like he did everything else--with diligence, creativity, and a fair amount of greed." Among the interesting tidbits shared by Colacello is the story of Warhol's unsuccessful attempt to woo Imelda Marcos into commissioning multiple portraits.The portraits include both paintings (polymer paint and silkscreen ink on canvas) and drawings. The book features alternative versions of some portraits; this feature helps to illuminate Warhol's technique. The portraits are at times whimsical, at times playful, at times a touch sinister, and at times quite elegant. Overall, an essential volume for those interested in Warhol's multifaceted legacy.
