Greetings from Andy: Christmas at Tiffany's

Greetings from Andy: Christmas at Tiffany's by Loring, John. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780810949621.

Before achieving fame and glory as a leading Pop artist, Andy Warhol was a successful commercial artist who contributed illustrations to womens magazines and designed windows and promotional materials for department stores. Among his clients was Tiffany & Co., for whom he created a series of designs for holiday greeting cards. The whimsical drawings and paintings he produced for Tiffanys Christmas cards are the subject of this charming gift book. Exuberant cherubs and acrobats, a reindeer snacking on watermelon, a playful monkey dangling an ornament from its tail, a gold-embossed Nativity, a high-heeled red ankle boot stuffed with holly, and Santas sleigh packed with presents are among the 50 black-and-white and color illustrations featured here. In his preface, John Loring, Tiffanys design director, recounts the artists working relationship with the famed luxury retailer through entertaining anecdotes and quotes from those who knew Warhol. Andys own bon mots about Christmas, sprinkled throughout the book, add to the appeal of this sweetly irreverent confection.
