The Impossible Collection of Warhol

Andy Warhol's explosive pop art and sharp commentary on advertising and celebrity culture are familiar and deeply relevant even decades after their creation. Although Warhol himself could be a polarizing figure both personally and professionally, there is no doubt that he was a pioneer of the pop movement, and today his works regularly win astronomical awards as a result. In this evocative addition to Assouline's Ultimate Collection, Warhol expert and former Andy Warhol Museum director Eric Shiner curates the 100 quintessential, unique works that define the evolution of this celebrated artist, tracing Warhol's dynamic career from the late forties to the late eighties and creating a stunning compendium whose pieces, because of their rarity, value and prestige as part of a museum or other collection, could simply never all be acquired by a single collector. Casual art lovers know Campbell's Soup Cans and Marilyn Diptykon, but Andy Warhol: The Impossible Collection goes deeper, revealing and revisiting some less ubiquitous but equally powerful works spanning paintings, prints, sculptures, films, and photographs from Warhol's astonishing oeuvre.
