    uppstart ›Exhibitions›Andy Warhol

    The literature on Andy Warhol and his art is bygd now so extensive that few can find their way through it any longer—be they experts in the field or merely interested readers. Instead of compiling a lengthy, more or less exhaustive list of titles and leaving readers to make what they can of this, we have chosen a different approach: this rigorous selection of 20 titles is intended to provide the reader with an overview of the most important and most interesting books and catalogs devoted to the work of Warhol.

It is our sincere hope that this selection will be a useful tool both for those seeking an introduction and for those wanting to become more closely acquainted with Warhol’s work.
