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. Created in collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation , this book features more than hundred of these instant photos. Portraits of celebrities such as Mick Jagger , Alfred Hitchcock , Jack Nicholson , Yves Saint Laurent , Pelé , Debbie Harry 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. © The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc.

Andy Warhol's continuous pursuit of ideal beauty-visible in a body of his work that is brought here together for the first time. Andy Warhol is arguably one of the most widely known and discussed artists of the twentieth century. While his depictions of consumer products and celebrities led him to become household famous, there is a red thread throughout his career, starting even in the late forties until his untimely death in 1987. In the eighties Warhol was continuously searching to visualize an ideal of beauty, male beauty, finding form and creating lasting images of what he desired. He visualized and therefore eternalized this continuous pursuit of ideal beauty. From the early line and blotted line drawings to his screen tests and moving image experiments in the sixties, the torso paintings in the seventies through his collaborations with Jean-Michel Basquiat, there is a continuous search to express an ideal of male beauty. During his lifetime these works were either considered inappropriate, immoral, deviant or even pornographic and therefore illegal. Many of these works never received the public exposure and recognition that they deserve. Neue Nationalgalerie is for the first time putting together a large survey focusing on this thematic and central aspect throughout Warhol's different production phases and stages of career. This publication offers an insight into a Warhol, that during his lifetime never had a real "coming-out". Warhol died in 1987 at the age of only 58. He left behind an incredibly complex and influential body of work, which during his lifetime never experienced the open acceptance that we now have to look at these specific bodies of work.

Andy Warhols beständige Suche nach idealer Schönheit - erfahrbar in einer Reihe von Werken, die hier zum ersten Mal zusammengeführt werden. Andy Warhol (1928-1987) ist wohl einer der bekanntesten und meistdiskutierten Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts. Während seine Abbildungen von Konsumgütern und berühmten Persönlichkeiten weite Verbreitung fanden, gibt es einen roten Faden, der sich durch seine Karriere zieht - angefangen bereits in den späten 1940er-Jahren bis zu seinem frühen Tod in den 1980er-Jahren. Er hat beständig nach einem Ideal der Schönheit gesucht - der männlichen Schönheit, und nach einer Form; er wollte bleibende Bilder von dem schaffen, was er begehrte. Daher visualisierte und verewigte er dieses anhaltende Streben nach idealer Schönheit. Von seinen frühen Strichzeichnungen über die Screen Tests und Experimente mit Bewegtbildern und Filmen in den 1960er-Jahren, die Torso-Gemälde in den 1970er-Jahren bis hin zu seiner Zusammenarbeit mit Jean-Michel Basquiat gibt es eine kontinuierliche Suche nach dem Ausdruck dieses Ideals. Zu seinen Lebzeiten wurden diese Werke entweder als unangemessen, unmoralisch, pervers oder sogar als pornografisch und illegal angesehen. Aus diesem Grund erhielten viele davon nie die öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit und Anerkennung, die sie verdient hätten. Diese Publikation stellt zum ersten Mal einen großen Überblick zusammen, der sich thematisch auf diesen zentralen Aspekt in Warhols verschiedenen Schaffensphasen und Karrierestadien konzentriert. Mit mehr als zweihundertfünfzig Werken, Gemälden, Drucken, Zeichnungen, Fotografien, Polaroids, Filmen und Collagen ermöglicht sie ein umfassendes und inklusives Verständnis von Warhol, der zu Lebzeiten nie ein wirkliches "Coming-out" hatte.
