Andy Warhol's explosive Pop Art and sharp commentary on advertising and celebrity culture are renowned and highly relevant even decades after their creation. Although Warhol himself could be a polarizing figure both personally and professionally, there is no doubt that he was a pioneer of the Pop movement, and today his works regularly fetch astronomical prices as a result.
Especially for Assouline's ultimate Andy Warhol coffee table book has Warhol expert and former director of the Andy Warhol Museum Eric Shiner compiles the 100 most important, unique works that define the evolution of this illustrious artist. He traces Warhol's dynamic career from the late 1940s to the late 1980s and creates a stunning compendium whose pieces, because of their rarity, value and prestige as part of a museum or other collection, simply could never all be acquired by a single collector.
Ordinary art lovers know Campbell's Soup Cans and the Marilyn Diptych, but Andy Warhol: The Impossible Collection goes deeper, revealing a number of less ubiquitous but equally powerful pieces from Warhol's astonishing oeuvre, ranging from paintings, prints, sculpture, films and photography.
