207 pages : 31 cm, \"Andy Warhol embodied many of the paradoxes of postwar America. Emerging as a successful commercial artist during the heyday of Madison Avenue, Warhol was obsessed with consumer objects and the production of fame. His early work reveals his fascination with Hollywood stars, everyday household products, disasters, car crashes, and the Kennedy assassination. In this book Stuart Morgan considers the public and private Andy Warhol; Barbara Kruger looks at the polarized responses to his work; Richard Prince offers a wry comparison between himself and his more famous predecessor; and other writers, artists and scholars contribute their own thoughts and reactions to Warhol the man and artist. Illustrated throughout with a wide-ranging series of illustrations of Warhol's famed and lesser-known works, this collection brings into clearer focus the artist's personal struggles to make sense of the world he inhabited.\" -- Publishers description, Catalog of an exhibition held at Museo Jumex, Mexico City, June 2-September 17, 2017, Includes bibliographical references, Foreword / Eugenio López Alonso -- Who shot Andy Warhol? / Douglas Fogle -- Contempt and adoration / Barbara Kruger -- Andy and Andy, the Warhol twins : a theme and variations / Stuart Morgan -- Guns and poses / Richard Prince -- Old Sparky / Geoff Dyer -- For the first time (About Andy Warhol) / Thomas Hirschhorn -- Liking things / Jonathan Griffin -- Invisible Andy / Kara Walker -- Flaming stars : Warhold, Presley, Pollock / Kenneth Brummel -- 1971 : my Andy Warhol? / Kerry James Marshall -- Fab / Abraham Cruzvillegas -- Andy Warhol's history painting for the American century / Julieta González
