This year's worth of Warhol images, quotes and commentaries is the perfect introduction to the artist and the ultimate gift book for fans of pop art.
Andy Warhol not only transformed the landscape of contemporary art, he was also a notorious collector who hoarded practically everything that came his way.
In 1994, seven years after the artist's death, The Andy Warhol Museum became the repository for a substantial body of his artwork and also for the Time Capsules, boxes he kept beside his desk and into which he obsessively deposited a lifetime's personal memorabilia, including photographs, fan letters, correspondence, artwork, books, exhibition catalogues and telelphone messages, along with countless examples of ephemera, such as announcements for poetry readings and dinner invitations.
The museum has gathered highlights of its collection to create a daybook that is as comprehensive as its holdings. It also features lively, witty commentaries and quotes from Warhol's own irreverent writings.
