A critical and creative observer of American society, he explored key themes of \u003cb\u003econsumerism, materialism, media, and celebrity\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on contemporary advertisements, comic strips, consumer products, and Hollywood’s most famous faces, Warhol proposed a \u003cb\u003eradical reevaluation of what constituted artistic subject matter\u003c\/b\u003e. Through Warhol, a Campbell’s soup can and Coca Cola bottle became as worthy of artistic status as any traditional still life. At the same time, Warhol \u003cb\u003ereconfigured the role of the artist\u003c\/b\u003e. Famously stating “I want to be a machine,” he systematically reduced the presence of his own authorship, working with \u003cb\u003emass-production methods and images\u003c\/b\u003e, as well as dozens of assistants in a studio he dubbed \u003cb\u003ethe Factory. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book introduces Warhol’s multifaceted, prolific oeuvre, which \u003cb\u003erevolutionized distinctions between “high” and “low” art\u003c\/b\u003e and integrated ideas of living, producing, and consuming that remain central questions of modern experience.","brand":"TASCHEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42371111026749,"sku":"9783836543897","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9783836543897_p0.jpg?v=1771564121","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9783836543897","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
