Warhol: Taschen

Andy Warhol – Basic Art Series by TASCHEN

Soap boxes and celebrities. Marilyn Monroe and Campbell’s soup. Andy Warhol (1928–1987) turned the ordinary into the iconic and redefined what art could be. This accessible introduction to Warhol’s life and work explores how he challenged traditional notions of art, fame, and authorship through mass-production, pop culture references, and his legendary New York studio, The Factory.

A leading figure in the Pop Art movement, Warhol blurred the lines between high art and consumer culture. With more than 100 high-quality reproductions, this book draws on his most influential works—from soup cans and Coca-Cola bottles to silkscreen portraits of celebrities—and provides insights into the themes of media, materialism, and modern identity.

Written by art historian Klaus Honnef, this title is part of TASCHEN’s acclaimed Basic Art series, offering an engaging and authoritative overview of Warhol’s revolutionary career.
