Warhol’s worlds, from the Factory to his Czech origins

of the many ways in which pop artist andy Warhol
(1928–1987) has influenced contemporary art, perhaps
the most significant is the collaborative sphere he orchestrated
through the Factory. established in 1962,
the Factory was a studio space that also served as a
locus for social and cultural interactions between
Warhol and a host of assistants, friends, lovers, fellow
artists and curious onlookers. a space of both labor
and leisure, the Factory was a vital community that
grew increasingly mobile over the course of Warhol’s
career. Within it, artists forged a cultural and social
world that became one of the earliest examples of a
relational approach to art making. The Factory examines
the critical role that photography played in both
documenting and realizing the flamboyant bohemian
culture of this community. It includes the work of
numerous professional and amateur photographers,
Factory insiders and passing voyeurs, as well as the
photographs of Warhol himself. Combining photo
strips and polaroids with small-scale black-and-white
and color prints, an intimate perspective on the
Factory emerges resembling a family album. Warhol
ultimately sought to turn the Factory outward and
include the public at large, and a selection of books,
magazines and celebrity photographs highlights the
more public and increasingly global scope of
Warhol’s social and cultural practice.

Image Machine: Andy Warhol
and Photography
Moderne kunsT nürnberG
edited and text by raphaela Platow, synne Genzmer, Joseph
d. ketner II.
Image Machine: Andy Warhol and Photography examines the
role of the photograph in Warhol’s art, its relationship to his
portrait painting and his late paintings and prints, and his
rigorous documentation of his social life. the book is divided
into three sections: the first, “Warhol’s mediated Image,”
focuses on the artist’s appropriation of the photographic
image, his initial use of the photo booth for portraits, the
polaroids and his mature portrait painting process in the
1970s. Direct comparisons are made here between source
material and finished work. the second section, “the 80s
through the eyes of andy,” covers Warhol’s legendary
socializing on the new York club scene of the 1980s, and
contains his portraits of leading celebrities of the era.
Lastly, “the Hand and the machine” looks at Warhol’s use
of photographs to create his late paintings and prints, and
features works such as the Self-Portrait wallpaper (1978) and
the series Ladies and Gentlemen (1975) and Torsos (1977).
the extent of andy Warhol’s photographic output has been
only recently made apparent, thanks to the efforts of the
Warhol photographic Legacy program, which assisted in the
production of this volume.

Andy Warhol and
Czechoslovakia
Arbor vITAe
edited by rudo Prekop, Michal Cihlář.
through a wealth of research, and illustrated
with more than 1,200 photographs
and documents (many published here for
the first time), this enormous compendium
traces andy Warhol’s relationship to his
parents’ native Czechoslovakia. neither
routine monograph nor ordinary biography,
Andy Warhol and Czechoslovakia is the
fruit of a 22-year labor of love by editors
rudo prekop and michal Cihlář, who were
granted unprecedented access to the family
archives by the artist’s brothers. prekop and
Cihlář amassed a wealth of interviews with
friends and family members (both in the
U.S. and in Czechoslovakia), and compiled
these alongside archival interviews and
all manner of ephemera, from family
mementos and early artworks to previously
unseen snapshots of Warhol. the editors
also examine Warhol’s close relationship
to his mother and explore his influence
upon prague’s underground music scene.
the vast wealth of material gathered in
this splendidly designed Warhol scrapbook
paints a vivid portrait of the artist’s
connection to his ethnic background.

Keith Haring: 1978–1982
Moderne kunsT nürnberG
edited by Gerald A. Matt, raphaela Platow. Preface by Gerald A. Matt.
Text by Pedro Alonzo, bill Arning, synne Genzmer, raphaela Platow.
Situated in that explosive mini-era from 1978 to 1982 in new York, this monograph
explores the early and most experimental period in the career of Keith Haring (1958–
1990). Its narrative commences with a portrait of the vigorous studio practice Haring
had already established after enrolling in new York’s School of visual arts, and
tracks his metamorphosis into an ultra-prolific artist creating political public art on
downtown streets and responding to the city’s graffiti culture, intent on making art
that would thrive outside the boundaries of institutions. reproduced throughout are
rarely seen drawings and sketchbooks, video stills, flyers, posters, photographs, subway
drawings, word collages, texts and diaries. the evolution of Haring’s visual vocabulary
in these years is explored, through his cornucopia of influences, ranging
from Jean Dubuffet, pierre alechinsky, Jackson pollock and Henri matisse to
William Burroughs, Dr. Seuss and Walt Disney. Haring’s heroes directly informed his
development of interlocking geometric shapes, comic-inspired narrative storyboards
and humor-infused homoerotic tableaux. Keith Haring: 1978–1982 unfolds the nascent
career of this tireless creator, philosopher, agitator and activist, one of the most
influential and popular artists of the twentieth century.

Thus Spoke LaChapelle
Arbor vITAe
Text by otto M. urban.
the photographs of David LaChapelle (born 1963) are among the most instantly recognizable images in
contemporary photography. His über-pop color portraits of celebrities such as Cameron Diaz, marilyn
manson and Kanye West (whom he has portrayed, respectively, as King Kong, a crossing guard and Black
Jesus) have propelled his work outside the closed society of galleries and museums into a wider public
arena. Thus Spoke LaChapelle is the first retrospective of the artist’s work to include photographs from
the mid–1980s up to the present, plus a range of work that has never previously appeared. more than an
exhibition catalogue, this book presents the culmination of LaChapelle’s artistic activity to date: a world
in which religious iconography comes in pink latex trappings and a new surrealism explodes in the
conjunction of flaming pianos, giant hamburgers, orally fixated triceratops and Day-glo disaster sites.
