Author Description

<p>Andy Warhol was a relentless chronicler of life and its encounters. Carrying a Polaroid camera from the late 1950s until his death in 1987, he amassed a huge collection of instant pictures of friends, lovers, patrons, the famous, the obscure, the scenic, the fashionable, and himself. <b>Created in collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation</b>, this book features more than hundred of these instant photos.<br> <br> Portraits of celebrities such as <b>Mick Jagger</b>, <b>Alfred Hitchcock</b>, <b>Jack Nicholson</b>, <b>Yves Saint Laurent</b>, <b>Pelé</b>, <b>Debbie Harry</b> are included alongside images of Warhol's entourage and high life, landscapes, and still lifes. Often raw and impromptu, the Polaroids document Warhol's era like Instagram captures our own, offering a unique record of the life, world, and vision behind the Pop Art maestro and modernist giant.<br> <br> © The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc.</p>
