First Book to Feature over 300 of Warhol's Famous Faces"I think everybody is my friend." -Andy Warhol To the general public, Andy Warhol is known as a painter of legendaryicons, from Marilyn and Jackie O to his own ever-changing self-portrait. Less known are the portraits he made of socialites, art dealers,collectors, politicians, fashion designers and a variety of contemporarycult figures, mostly commissioned work that helped finance Warhol's manyother artistic activities.Never before has there been a book thatprovides a comprehensive overview of all of Warhol's famous faces. ANDY WARHOL PORTRAITS by Tony Shafrazi, is the first book to provide acomplete overview of Warhol's many celebrity portraits, from the famous tothe infamous.It features over 300 glamorous portraits including manyworks largely unknown even by avid fans.ANDY WARHOL PORTRAITS grew out of an exhibition that was organized by theTony Shafrazi Gallery, New York in 2005.Shafrazi paid homage to a seminaldisplay of Warhol's portraits that took place at the Whitney Museum ofAmerican Art in 1979-80.The Whitney exhibition presented for the firsttime a large array of the commissioned portraits that the artist began inthe early 1970s as a way to offset the cost of multiplying activities atthe Factory.Shafrazi's exhibition included many portraits from theoriginal Whitney exhibition as well as others.ANDY WARHOL PORTRAITS takesShafrazi's exhibition even further, nearly doubling the number of worksshown.On the 20th anniversary of Warhol's death in 1987, there has never been abetter time to reflect on Warhol's life and influence on pop culture today. According to a recent interview with Charlotte Abbot from PublishersWeekly, "It's a good moment for Andy Warhol.Culturally, he is still ontop."Art historians and critics have long neglected this body of Warhol's work,preferring to discuss and study the more iconic Marilyns or Campbell SoupCans of the 1960's.ANDY WARHOL PORTRAITS includes, in addition to famousportraits of Marlon Brando, Liz Taylor and Dennis Hopper, lesser-knownimages of actors Bill Murray and Meryl Streep, fellow artists Donald Juddand Cy Twombly and royal family members such as Princess Diana and PrincessCaroline.It also features a number of musicians, including Prince andDolly Parton, and fashion icons including Diane von Furstenberg and GiorgioArmani. The book begins with an introduction by Tony Shafrazi, and features essaysby established art historians/critics Carter Ratcliff and Robert Rosenblum,who lend insight into one of the least fully known but neverthelessprolific aspects of Warhol's endlessly fascinating career.The book makesthe perfect gift for any pop culture fan.

坦白讲,我原本以为这本专注于肖像的画册,可能会在深度上有所欠缺,因为它似乎将安迪的创作范围框定得太窄了。然而,我错了。这本书最精彩的部分在于它对“身份”这个概念的侧面探讨。通过这些名人的面孔,我们看到的不是他们本人,而是社会为他们量身定做的“面具”。书中那些极其饱和的、近乎卡通化的色彩选择,其实是对现实生活过度美化的嘲讽。它成功地引导我去思考:当一个人的形象被无限复制和消费后,真正的“自我”是否已经溶解在了这些光鲜的色彩之中?那些凝视着读者的眼睛,是带着邀请,还是带着一种彻底的空洞?这本书就像一个巨大的、闪烁着霓虹灯的镜子,让我们看到了名利场背后的虚无,而且这种感受,即便在今天的社交媒体时代,依然具有令人不安的现实意义。
评分我通常不太关注艺术史的“幕后花絮”,但这本书中收录的几篇关于“工厂”时期创作流程的文字材料,真的让我大开眼界。它不是那种空泛的轶事,而是非常具体地描述了丝网印刷中油墨厚度的变化如何影响最终的色调,以及安迪是如何将艺术生产过程“流水线化”的。书中对比展示了几张同一主题的不同油墨批次样本,那些微小的差异——比如某一版中蓝色显得更加“病态”或红色更加“血腥”——清晰地展示了控制与失控在他工作中的微妙平衡。这种对工艺细节的尊重,极大地提升了我对沃霍尔作品“技术含量”的认知。它不再仅仅是“复制”,而是一种对复制品本身进行细微干预和“污染”的过程,让人对“原创性”的概念产生了新的困惑和思考。
评分这本关于波普艺术巨匠的画册,光是翻开扉页,那股扑面而来的色彩张力就足以让人屏息。我得说,对于那些仅仅在博物馆里匆匆瞥过他那些标志性丝网印刷作品的人来说,这本印刷质量极高的画册简直是一次迟到的、深入的视觉教育。它不仅仅是作品的简单罗列,更像是一次精心策展的私人回顾展。我尤其欣赏它对早期肖像创作的细致梳理,那些尚未完全进入“工厂”模式前,带有实验性和探索性的笔触和色彩搭配,展现了一个远比我们想象中更为勤奋和细腻的安迪。例如,书中收录的几幅早期名人素描,其线条的精准与对人物神态的捕捉,让人联想到古典肖像画的功力,这与他后来那种近乎机械复制的美学形成了鲜明的对比,揭示了他艺术发展中关键的转折点。装帧设计也相当考究,纸张的肌理感与高光泽度的印刷效果完美平衡了艺术品的严肃性和波普文化的轻盈感,即便是仅仅将它放在茶几上作为装饰,也散发出一种低调的品味。
评分老实讲,我最初购入这本书是抱着一种“打卡式”的心态,想着无非是那些玛丽莲、猫王和苏丝·帕克的大头照的集合。但当我真正沉浸进去时,我发现自己被书中对“肖像”这一主题的解构过程深深吸引住了。作者(或者说编者)似乎花费了大量篇幅来探讨安迪如何系统性地“去个性化”他的对象,并将他们转化为一种可供消费的符号。这种分析视角非常锐利,它没有停留在表面赞美那些鲜艳的色彩,而是深入挖掘了冷漠、重复与名望之间的哲学悖论。我特别喜欢其中关于“名人”本质的论述,书中通过对比不同时期、不同媒介下同一人物的肖像,清晰地展示了安迪如何通过色彩的错位和图像的并置,来讽刺或反思美国社会对“面孔”的狂热追逐。这种批判性的解读,让这本书超越了一般艺术图册的范畴,更像是一部关于后现代文化焦虑的视觉人类学报告。
评分这本书的排版简直是视觉享受的灾难,当然,我指的是最好的那种“灾难”。它不像那些中规中矩的学术著作那样规矩地把每一幅作品放在正中央。相反,它大胆地将一幅小小的、近乎档案性质的草图,放置在一整页的巨大、饱和度极高的丝网印刷旁,两个截然不同的时代和技法在同一空间内激烈碰撞、互相对话。这种编排方式迫使我的眼睛不断地在细节与宏观之间跳跃,极大地增强了阅读的动态感。我甚至觉得,这种充满冲突和不和谐的版式设计,本身就是对安迪·沃霍尔创作手法的最贴切致敬——他本人就是混乱、流行与精英文化的激进混合体。对于那些习惯于线性、整洁展示的读者来说,这可能会造成阅读上的不适,但对于我来说,这恰恰是这本书的魅力所在,它拒绝被轻易消化。
评分印刷排版装订都很棒啊。
