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.
Andy Warhol, a painter and graphic artist, also produced a significant body of film work, including his famous Chelsea Girls. He was equally well known in the late sixties and early seventies as resident host at his studio, The Factory, where one could listen to Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground and rub elbows with Edie Sedgwick. Warhold died in New York in 1987.
