Andy Warhol loved books. From his student days onward, he was fascinated by the medium of print. Starting with illustrations for famous novels by Truman Capote or Katherine Anne Porter, he was a successful graphic designer who also made playful thematic booklets that he handed out to New York's fashion scene as advertising. He designed covers for large publishing companies and made silkscreens and lithographs for the covers of poetry books written by author friends. In his own books he documented the film and photographic work done at his Factory. Warhol blasted apart the usual genres of literature by having sound recordings transcribed and published. This extensive volume presents his achievements in book design and writing from the standpoints of art history and literary theory.

Instant Andy: Before there was Instagram, there was Warhol. "A picture means I know where I was every minute. That's why I take pictures. It's a visual diary." - Andy Warhol. Andy Warhol was a relentless chronicler of life and its encounters. Carrying a Polaroid camera nearly everywhere he went from the late 1960s until his death in 1987, he amassed a huge collection of instant pictures of friends, lovers, patrons, the famous, the obscure, the scenic, the fashionable, and himself. Created in collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation, this book features hundreds of these instant photos, most of them never seen before. Portraits of celebrities such as Mick Jagger, Alfred Hitchcock, Jack Nicholson, O.J Simpson, Pele, Debbie Harry are included alongside images of his entourage and high life, landscapes, and still lifes from Cabbage Patch dolls to the iconic soup cans. Often raw and impromptu, Warhol's Polaroids document his era like Instagram captures our own. From the unofficial court photographer of New York high and low society, this collection is an indispensable record of Warhol's life, world, and vision.

Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Pera Museum is pleased to announce its new spring exhibition Andy Warhol: Pop Art for Everyone. The exhibition is composed of selected works of Andy Warhol from the Zoya Museum Private Collection in Slovakia, Modra. Included in the show are silkscreen series and drawings exhibited for the first time in Turkey, iconic works such as Campbell's Soup, Cowboys and Indians, Endangered Species, and Flowers, accompanied by portraits of well-known important figures. Andy Warhol' (1928-1987) artistic productivity was vast and impressive. More than twenty years after his death, Andy Warhol remains one of the most influential figures in contemporary art and culture. Warhol's life and work inspires creative thinkers worldwide thanks to his enduring imagery, his artfully cultivated celebrity, and the ongoing research of dedicated scholars. His impact as an artist is far deeper and greater than his one prescient observation that "everyone will be world famous for fifteen minutes. His omnivorous curiosity resulted in an enormous body of work that spanned every available medium and most importantly contributed to the collapse of boundaries between high and low culture. Andy Warhol's manner, clothes, hair color, gestures; all were as significant as the works he created and the life he led. The concept that he ultimately triggered and crafted, of "artist as machine" operating mechanically both in the selection of his symbol and in the process of replicating it, emphasized the ordinariness, even banality of his actions. Nevertheless, his aspiration to play the role of a great artist remains undisputable. Exhibition: Pera Museum, Istanbul, Turkey (May 6-July 20, 2014).

"Warhol's Queens combines the artist's portraits of actual female royalty with images of drag queens. For Warhol (1928-1987), both these genuine and fake queens epitomized idealized femininity, devoting their lives to presenting an unattainably glittering pageantry to the public for (not all too) close inspection. This volume juxtaposes Warhol's Polaroids of Princess Caroline of Monaco, Farah Diba Pahlavi and the then-Crown Princess Sonja, of Norway, with drag queens, whom Warhol characterized as 'living testimony to the way women used to want to be, the way some people still want them to be and the way some women still actually want to be.' The intense faces with their exceptionally colored lips, eyes and hair are both aloof and strangely intimate. With its in-depth scholarly essays, this book is essential for fans of Warhol's portraiture and camp culture."--Publisher description.

"By the mid-1970s, Andy Warhol was veering away from his earlier focus on mainstream celebrities and toward more eclectic subjects, such as the cross-dressers in his Ladies and Gentlemen series. In 1976, he made a series of paintings and drawings of the Native American actor and activist Russell Means. Starting with popular publicity shots, Warhol transferred these images to silkscreen and then printed them on canvases. Warhol presents Means with exaggerated, glamorized features; some of the canvases include hand-painted embellishments and decorations that distinguish this series from the mechanical approach of Warhol's earlier celebrity portraits. Through a combination of mass technology and ornamental technique, Warhol transforms a commonplace image into a dignified and majestic portrait that pays tribute to both an individual and his people"--Amazon.com, viewed November 13, 2013.

Hear the name Andy Warhol and what comes most immediately to mind are iconic images of Campbell's soup cans, the Velvet Underground's ubiquitous banana cover art and quirky colour-adjusted panels of popular cultural icons. But Warhol was also a skilled draftsman, who filled numerous sketchbooks with freehand drawings of still-life objects and friends. 'From Silver Point to Silver Screen' collects more than 100 of these early drawings, dating from as far back as the 1950s.
