Andy Warhol: 365 Takes: The Andy Warhol Museum Collection

DESCRIPTION"I am a deeply superficial person." Andy Warhol is one of the most compelling figures of the twentieth-century art world, whose body of work has transformed the landscape of contemporary art. Along with being a prolific artist, Warhol was a notorious pack rat, saving everything that came his way in Time Capsules, boxes he kept beside his desk and into which he carefully deposited photographs, newspapers and magazines, fan letters, business and personal correspondence, artwork, source images for artwork, books, exhibition catalogues, and telephone messages, along with objects and countless examples of ephemera, such as announcements for poetry readings and dinner invitations. After the artist's death, The Andy Warhol Museum became the repository for these Time Capsules, along with some of the paintings, prints, sculptures, photographs, and films for which Warhol is best known. For this project, the museum has gathered together the highlights of its collection to create a book that is as comprehensive as its holdings. The images from the collection will be accompanied by fun and informative texts written by the curators, as well as quotes from Warhol.

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 artist's 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 lifetime's worth of ephemera and personal memorabilia. For this book—created in the same format as Abrams' best-selling Earth From Above: 365 Days—the 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 museum's staff as well as quotes from Warhol's own irreverent writings. Timed to coincide with the celebration of the museum's 10-year anniversary, this book will serve as both an introduction to and a handbook for the most extensive collection anywhere of this iconic artist's work.
