Count Basie, Tchaikovsky, Aretha Franklin, Lou Reed, Diana
Ross, John Lennon, and the Rolling Stones all had their music
promoted by Andy Warhol s record covers. This catalogue
raisonné reproduces the fifty covers, front and back, designed
over four decades that bear Warhol s unmistakable imprint. It
also includes over 100 additional illustrations, featuring related
works by Warhol, photographs of performances as well as
documentary images identifying his visual sources. Paul
Maréchal explores Warhol s creative process, his relationship
with artists and his fascination with all kinds of music. The
range of music represented through these record covers, from
jazz to classical, and from rock to soul, reveals the breadth of
Warhol s musical tastes and his extraordinary ability to
combine his artistic vision with the music and the recording
artist.
