L’obra de Wataru és alhora matèrica i simbòlica. S’arrapa als gestos i a les textures que confereixenuna naturalesa corpòria al seu treball, però s’afanya sempre a extreure’n l’essència, un missatgeq

The definitive biography of one of the most famous and influential artists the world has ever seenA GUARDIAN, OBSERVER, AND DAZED MAGAZINE 'BOOK TO LOOK FORWARD TO' IN 2020'Art and art history jumped the tracks with Andy Warhol. Blake Gopnik's lucid account of the artist and the wild times puts all that back on track again. An eye-opening biography that reads like a potboiler' Jerry Saltz, Senior Art Critic, New York MagazineWhen critics attacked Andy Warhol's Marilyn paintings as shallow, the Pop artist was happy to present himself as shallower still: He claimed that he silkscreened to avoid the hard work of painting, although he was actually a meticulous workaholic; in interviews he presented himself as a silly naif when in private he was the canniest of sophisticates. Blake Gopnik's definitive biography digs deep into the contradictions and radical genius that led Andy Warhol to revolutionise our cultural world.Based on years of archival research and on interviews with hundreds of Warhol's surviving friends, lovers and enemies, Warhol traces the artist's path from his origins as the impoverished son of Eastern European immigrants in 1930s Pittsburgh, through his early success as a commercial illustrator and his groundbreaking pivot into fine art, to the society portraiture and popular celebrity of the '70s and '80s, as he reflected and responded to the changing dynamics of commerce and culture.Warhol sought out all the most glamorous figures of his times - Susan Sontag, Mick Jagger, the Barons de Rothschild - despite being burdened with an almost crippling shyness. Behind the public glitter of the artist's Factory, with its superstars, drag queens and socialites, there was a man who lived with his mother for much of his life and guarded the privacy of his home. He overcame the vicious homophobia of his youth to become a symbol of gay achievement, while always seeking the pleasures of traditional romance and coupledom. (Warhol explodes the myth of his asexuality.)Filled with new insights into the artist's work and personality, Warhol asks: Was he a joke or a genius, a radical or a social climber? As Warhol himself would have answered: Yes.

Andy Warhol (1928-1987) está considerado en la actualidad el máximo exponente del arte pop. Como observador creativo y crítico de la sociedad estadounidense, exploró temas claves como el consumismo, el materialismo, los medios de comunicacion y la fama. Inspirandose en anuncios contemporaneos, tiras comicas, productos de consumo y los rostros mas famosos de Hollywood, Warhol propuso una revision drastica del concepto de objeto artistico. El logro que una sopa Campbell y una botella de Coca-Cola tuvieran el mismo valor artistico que cualquier bodegon tradicional. Al mismo tiempo, Warhol reconfiguro el papel del artista. Con su famosa afirmacion "Quiero ser una maquina", redujo sistematicamente su propia presencia como autor trabajando con imagenes y metodos de produccion en masa, y con decenas de ayudantes en un estudio que bautizo como la Factory. Este libro presenta la obra extensa y polifacetica de Warhol, que revoluciono la distincion entre el "arte con mayusculas" y el "arte con minusculas", y abordo ideas de vida, produccion y consumo que siguen siendo cuestiones centrales de la experiencia moderna.

Warhol para principiantes recorre su fascinante trayectoria, desde sus primeros años como un niño pobre y amanerado en Pittsburgh hasta su consagración como gurú del arte pop en Nueva York en los años 60. Explica la evolucion de su arte y describe las monstruosidades relaciones que supo mantener con los integrantes de su sequito en The Factory durante tres decadas por las que paso de todo.

La compleja relación entre Andy Warhol y Jean-Michel Basquiat ha cautivado al mundo del arte de ayer y de hoy. Warhol ya era famoso en todo el mundo y Basquiat, una suerte de embajador extraoficial del Nueva York mas cool, era un talento del downtown que emergia rapidamente de la escena grafitera. Juntos forjaron una asociacion personal y profesional electrizante. Warhol, un prolifico documentalista de su propio mundo, fotografio y escribio con profusion sobre su amistad con Basquiat con el Nueva York de la decada de 1980 como trasfondo, revelando no solo la profundidad emocional de su relacion sino tambien sus ambiguedades, diferencias y complejidades. Producido en colaboracion con la Fundacion Andy Warhol y los herederos de Jean-Michel Basquiat, este libro narra la amistad de la pareja en cientos de fotografias ineditas de Basquiat con un nutrido grupo de personajes que van de Madonna a Grace Jones y de Keith Haring a Fela Kuti. Las imagenes vienen acompañadas de entradas de los legendarios Diarios de Andy Warhol, una seleccion de obras artisticas que Warhol y Basquiat realizaron juntos y numerosos recuerdos. Conmovedor, intimo y a veces incluso sarcastico, Warhol on Basquiat es una mirada voyerista a las vidas de dos de las estrellas mas brillantes del arte moderno.
