This "year in the life" of Warhol's artistic and social productions (was there a difference?) actually spans decades. More than 15 years after Warhol's death, his work retains an uncanny ability to make the most banal elements of American life sharp and subversive; these 365 full-page 91/2"×61/2" color illustrations, with pertinent (or impertinent), texts on facing pages) includes the movies ( Blow Job , Taylor Mead's Ass ), the silk screens (Mao etc.), the entourage (endless) and much more in celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the Warhol museum (in Warhol's birthplace of Pittsburgh, Pa.). The Andy Warhol Diaries and The Philosophy of Andy Warhol are overdrawn on for the text. The illustrations are fresher and include early drawings; film notes and shooting schedules; photographs of Warhol's tape recorder, telephone and wig collection; and a magazine quiz filled out by Warhol. These are counterposed with reproductions of some (but not all) of Warhol's better known completed pieces, such as Campbell's Soup or Elvis 11 Times . However, the inclusion of "contextual" material like photographs of Brooke Shields or the Jacksons could have easily been replaced by more of Warhol's own artwork. While the range reproduced shows Warhol's extraordinary versatility in mediums, whether film, silkscreen, painting or people-collecting, no book can convey the shocking impact of his work. (June) 365 Takes by Andy 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.

Edition of 500 Features the “peel and see” sticker Produced and numbered by The Skateroom in 2018 Under license from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. - Set of 1 skateboard The deck measures approx. 31x8in (80x20cm) - Made of 7 ply Grade A Canadian Maple wood Top-print includes the official Andy Warhol brand logo 1 wall mount included per deck. Whitney Museum New York, USA. In the early sixties, Andy Warhol created many works depicting consumer products, Hollywood stars, and a highly publicized series illustrating death and disaster in American society. As one of the most recognized faces in contemporary art, it seemed obvious for us to try and perpetuate Andy Warhol’s vision through our production. That’s why we recently collaborated with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts to produce a series of Andy’s most iconic works. “Printed Signature on the deck” refers to the printed signature of the artist included on the top-print. Most decks feature this printed signature, though some specified editions can also feature a hand signed artist signature. Art for Social Impact is at the core of who we are and what we stand for. We donate up to 25% of profits to support social projects. The percentage donated depends on several factors such as the edition, the price, the retailer’s margin, the royalties paid to the artists and foundations. Since the start of The Skateroom in 2014, we’ve donated more than $1,000,000 to support social projects empowering at-risk youth around the world. In 2019, we became a Certified B Corporation . The Skateroom is also CO2 neutral , chooses to source its skateboard wood from certified sustainable forests, and uses water-based ink for its prints. These editions of artwork are intended for decorative purposes. While you could definitely skate on them if you wanted to, we provide you with one wall mount per deck to hang them on your wall, just like a painting. We provide you with everything you need to hang your boards up. It’s really easy to set up and you can find all the instuctions right here. Our team is also always ready to help if you have any additional questions. Direct exposure to sunlight might result in discoloration and damage to your editions. To avoid this, we strongly suggest hanging your art-decks away from direct natural light. You have up to 14 days after receiving your order to request a return. The 14-day return policy is applicable on all products except limited hand- signed editions.

  • Warhol, Recycling, Writing
    From A to B and Back Again: Warhol, Recycling, Writing Christopher Schmidt I, too, dislike it—the impulse to claim Warhol as silent underwriter in virtually any aesthetic endeavor. Warhol invented reality television. Warhol would have loved YouTube. Jeff Koons is the heterosexual Warhol. It’s Warhol’s world; we just live in it. Is there a critical voice that does not have a claim on some aspect of the Warhol corpus, its bulk forever washing up on the shore of the contemporary? However much I suffer from Warhol fatigue, a quick perusal of The Philos- ophy of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again is sufficient to pull me back into the camp of Warhol boosters. I first discovered this 241-page little red book—the paperback is designed to look like a Campbell’s soup can—as a college student in the late 90s, when its sunny subversiveness and impatience with all things “intel- lectual” buoyed my spirits through the longueurs of New England winters. Warhol’s charm, the invention and breadth of his thought, thrilled me then and delights me still. The gap between my affection for the book and critical dismis- sal of it begs explanation and redress. Though overlooked as literature, The Philosophy is often mined by critics as a source for Warhol’s thought and personal history without due consideration given to the book’s form or its status as a transcribed, partially ghostwritten per- formance. Instead, Warhol’s aperçus are taken as uncomplicated truth: from Warhol’s brain to my dissertation.

  • Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable
    Jean Wainwright Mediated Pain: Andy Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable ‘Warhol has indeed put together a total environment. But it is an assemblage that actually vibrates with menace, cynicism and perversion. To experience it is to be brutalized, helpless…The Flowers of Evil are in full bloom with the Exploding, Plastic, Inevitable’.1 The ‘Exploding Plastic Inevitable’ (EPI) was Andy Warhol’s only foray into a total inter-media experience.2 From 1966 to 1967 the EPI, at its most developed, included up to three film projectors3, sometimes with colour reels projected over black and white, variable speed strobes, movable spots with coloured gels, hand-held pistol lights, mirror balls, slide projectors with patterned images and, at its heart, a deafening live performance by The Velvet Underground.4 Gerard Malanga’s dancing – with whips, luminous coloured tape and accompanied by Mary Woronov or Ingrid Superstar – completed the assault on the senses. [Fig.9.1] This essay argues that these multisensory stimuli were an arena for Warhol to mediate an otherwise internalised interest in pain, using his associates and the public as baffles to insulate himself from it. His management of the EPI allowed Warhol to witness both real and simulated pain, in a variety of forms. These ranged from the often extreme reactions of the viewing audience to the repetition on his background reels, projected over the foreground action.5 Warhol had adopted passivity as a self-fashioning device.6 This was a coping mechanism against being hurt, and a buffer to shield his emotional self from the public gaze.7 At the same time it became an effective manipulative device, deployed upon his Factory staff.

A special thank you to our UMPI arts alumna, JANE CAULFIELD, owner of Morning Star Art & Framing of Presque Isle. The University of Maine at Presque Isle is grateful for their support. COVER IMAGE : “Shoe, (Women’s Single) 1980” Polaroid Unless otherwise noted, all images © Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. Catalogue by Linda Zillman, M.A., History of Photography; Design & Layout: Dick Harrison The Warhol Photographs The Owl Undated 5” x 7” black and white print It is sheer luck that we received this photo, UMPI’s owl mascot, from the Warhol Foundation. We have made the pairing of The Owl and The Pussycat in honor of Edward Lear’s poem and with the thought that it is just the kind of association Warhol would have made. In 1978 Martha Graham created a dance entitled The Owl and the Pussycat using the words from Lear’s famous poem. Rudolph Nureyev danced and Liza Minnelli was the narrator. The Owl and the Pussycat played at Covent Garden and in New York City. ( Diaries, p. 229-230) Andy was present at the Covent Garden opening on July 23, 1979. ( Diaries, p. 230) Both The Owl and The Pussycat share the same white background as well as interesting shadows in the photographs. Not exactly dancing “by the light of the moon,” as Lear wrote, but use your imagination! The Warhol Photographs The Pussycat Undated 5” x 7” black and white print In 1976, Andy Warhol did an acrylic and silkscreen ink on canvas portrait of a cat.

    ANDY WARHOL—FROM A TO B AND BACK AGAIN OPENS AT SFMOMA ON MAY 19, 2019 Critically Acclaimed Exhibition Marks First Retrospective of the Artist’s Work in 25 Years Warhol Film Program begins June 27 at SFMOMA Spanish Language Tours of the Exhibition Available Warhol-Inspired Menu Items at In Situ and Cafe 5 SAN FRANCISCO, CA (January 31, 2019)—The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) announces the exclusive West Coast presentation of the critically acclaimed exhibition, Andy Warhol— From A to B and Back Again on view from May 19 through September 2, 2019. Spanning the artist’s 40- year career and featuring more than 300 works on three different floors of the museum, the exhibition includes paintings, drawings, graphics, photographs, films, television shows as well as a San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Andy Warhol Press Release 1 personal time capsule of ephemera. The retrospective features examples of the artist’s most iconic pieces in addition to lesser-known abstract paintings from later in his career. Uncannily relevant in today’s image-driven world, Andy Warhol—From A to B and Back Again provides new insight into Andy Warhol himself by examining the complexities of this enigmatic artist more than 30 years after his death in 1987. The show’s title is taken from Warhol’s 1975 book, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B and Back Again), a memoir featuring the artist’s musings on fame, love, beauty, class, money and other key themes that frequently appear in his work. “He’s a complicated figure and a complicated artist,” said Gary Garrels, Elise S.

  • IN FOCUS: David Bowie On-Screen
    IN FOCUS: David Bowie On-Screen David Bowie On-Screen by TOIJA CINQUE, ANGELA NDALIANIS, and SEAN REDMOND, editors ot Here. David Bowie has always been a signifi cant fi gure of the screen. Through appearing in experimental music videos, tense television interviews, controversial live Nperformances, biographical documentaries, and auteur and genre fi lms, he was a seminal, shimmering part of screen culture for more than forty years. His fi rst television appearance was on the BBC’s Tonight program, in 1964, where he was interviewed about his newly founded Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Long-Haired Men. At this stage, when he was still called David Jones, we are introduced to not only his hunger for publicity but also his closeness to diff erence, of not quite fi tting in. David Bowie is, of course, not a single or singular star image: he has appeared as David Bowie and in and through various high-voltage, liminal, gender-bending personae, including Aladdin Sane (1971); he has appeared in self-refl exive cameo roles in such fi lms as Zoolander (Ben Stiller, 2001); and he has taken on various serious acting roles, including the outcast poet-musician Baal in Baal (Alan Clarke, BBC, 1982), the vampire John Blaylock in The Hunger (Tony Scott, 1983), the murderous Pontius Pilate in The Last Temptation of Christ (Martin Scorsese, 1988), and the enigmatic inventor Nikola Tesla in The Prestige (Christopher Nolan, 2006). Across the body of David Bowie’s screen work, one fi nds a great diversity in the type of roles he has taken on and the performances he has given, even if they are, nonetheless, all loosely bound by a profound alterity—a signifi cation of diff erence.
