Andy Warhol 365 Takes: The Andy Warhol Museum Collection

Andy Warhol was one of the most compelling figures of the 20th-century art world whose body of work transformed the landscape of contemporary art. He was also a notorious collector who saved practically everything that came his way. In 1994 seven years after the artists death The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh became the repository not only for a substantial body of his artwork and films but also for the Time Capsules into which he obsessively deposited a lifetimes worth of ephemera and personal memorabilia. For this bookcreated in the same format as Abrams best-selling Earth From Above: 365 Daysthe museum has gathered highlights of its collection. Illustrated with almost 400 objects from paintings to party invitations the volume also features lively commentaries by the museums staff as well as quotes from Warhols own irreverent writings. Timed to coincide with the celebration of the museums 10-year anniversary this book will serve as both an introduction to and a handbook for the most extensive collection anywhere of this iconic artists work.
