Warhol Screenprints of Jacqueline Kennedy go to Dallas for Auction
DALLAS -- As news photographs, the 1963 images of Jacqueline Kennedy as a grieving widow touched the nation, reflecting America's mourning after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
For pop artist Andy Warhol, the photos became the catalyst for his "Jackie" works, a series of paintings and screen prints created between 1963 and 1968 that captured the moments before and after the assassination as she was transformed from glamorous first lady to grieving widow.
Most of the succession of portraits created by Warhol are screened in black on funereal blue backgrounds, and most were created in Warhol's New York studio, The Factory, in the months after the assassination. Warhol was fascinated by the first lady, who like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor seemed pursued by the shadow of death.
"Andy Warhol was the most brilliant chronicler of his time, everything touched him. While Warhol wanted to memorialize a horrific moment in history, he thought it would be distasteful to use news images of the president as he was killed, hence he embodied everything in the young widow,". said Tom Sokolowski, director of the Warhol Museum.
Heritage Auction Galleries Auction #5004 Includes Warhol Pop Art Suite of the widow Jacqueline Kennedy. Absentee bidding started April 10th 2008, and runs through May 7th 2008, The floor auction is being held in Dallas, TX on May 8*-9, 2008.
These portraits have captured one of the most traumatic events in postwar America and marks the development of instant news, mass emotion and mass reaction. Rather than a common voyeur, Warhol created a statement of American culture which is just as poignant today as it was in 1966.

Warhol Cynicism of Mass Media
an Warhol's Obsession with Death
This image of Jackie Kennedy standing with dignity as the body of her husband was laid to rest before a throng of photographers and television reporters reflects classic Warhol cynicism of mass media. The visual imagery, based on newspaper photos rather than a firsthand account, is more a commentary on how the media represented the event than a study of Jackie's experience. The choice of Jackie Kennedy is also illustrative of Warhol's obsession with celebrities and how the media suppresses their ability to retain individuality and humanity.View All 4 Warhols In Heritage Auction 5004

Wayne Koestenbaum, Jackie Under My Skin: Interpreting an Icon
Warhol's funerary tribute
Warhol's Jackie paintings can be seen as a funerary tribute. Writer Wayne Koestenbaum reflects that "Warhol rendered Jackie celebrity / victome in his standard grid, repeating images as if they were mug shots, frames of documentary film footage, or a fans clippings. Repetition implies the mourning in the Dallas scene is a trauma, and mourning takes the form of recycling and recall, a process that unsettles chronology....Repetition implies obsession, the Jackie photos are cropped-narrowing the focus onto Jackie alone, myopically isolating her from context...A narrative emerges, and it is not the story of Jackies' life or the growth of Jackie's soul but the narrative of the image and our relation to the image."

the Pop Art Movement
A Slice of Popular Art or "Pop Art"
An Abbreviation of Popular Art or "Pop Art"The Pop Art movement used common everyday objects to portray elements of popular culture, primarily images in advertising and television. The term Pop art was first used by English critic, Lawrence Alloway in 1958 in an edition of Architectural Digest. He was describing all post-war work centered on consumerism and materialism, and that rejected the psychological allusions of Abstract Expressionism. An attempt to bring art back into American daily life, it rejected abstract painting because of its sophisticated and elite nature. Pop Art shattered the divide between the commercial arts and the fine arts.
The Pop Art movement originated in England in the 1950s and traveled overseas to the United States during the 1960s. Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi, both members of the Independent Group, pioneered the movement in London in the 1950s. In the 1960s, the movement was carried by Peter Blake, Patrick Caulfield, David Hockney, Allen Jones, and Peter Phillips. In the early sixties, Pop art found its way to the United States, seen in the work of Jim Dine, Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Rauschenberg. It developed in the United States as a response to the wealth of the post World War II era and the growing materialism and consumerism in society. The most recognized Pop Artist, Andy Warhol, used a photo-realistic, mass production printmaking technique called seriagraphy to produce his commentaries on media, fame, and advertising.
Pop Art made commentary on contemporary society and culture, particularly consumerism, by using popular images and icons and incorporating and re-defining them in the art world. Often subjects were derived from advertising and product packaging, celebrities, and comic strips. The images are presented with a combination of humor, criticism and irony. In doing this, the movement put art into terms of everyday, contemporary life. It also helped to decrease the gap between "high art" and "low art" and eliminated the distinction between fine art and commercial art methods.
Andy Began his Career as a Commercial Artist
from Commercial Art to Pop Art
A son of an immigrant coal miner and arguably the most influential visual historian of the twentieth century, Andy Warhol was born in 1928 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Warhol moved to New York City in 1949 where he became a successful illustrator, painter, film-maker, and author and kept the company of socialites and street people alike. In a meaningful departure from Expressionism, Warhol embraced popular culture and commercial processes. In the 1960s he switched from painting to silkscreen prints which were produced serially, often in bright colors with off-set effects. This process allowed Warhol not only to create art out of the mass-produced but also to mass produce the art itself. The series of silkscreens produced in the 1960s ranged from the banal to the tragic ever the voyeur of popular culture, Warhol depicted celebrities as well as common consumer products. Campbell's Soup, 1965 is one of the artist's many renditions of this American staple. Initially copying the soup cans faithfully, he soon substituted different combinations of color for the traditional red-and-white label. The electric-hued 1965 canvas challenges the Western notion of artistic genius by emphasizing the arbitrary nature of the color choice.Andy observed that "America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola and you know the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke too."
Warhol did not idealize the things he depicted but instead repeated these images over and over to signify the banality of a technological world dominated by machine-made products.
Andy Warhol on YouTube
Its been fifty years since Warhol first appeared on the New York art scene, Andy Warhol has become synonymous with Pop Art and with the wry definition of fame as something that never lasts more than fifteen minutes. But Warhol spent his career working so prodigiously as to assure long lasting renown. In the printmaking field alone, his output was prolific, and his appropriation of silkscreen as a fine art medium forever altered the way prints look.

Screenprint was Andy Warhol's Medium
by Deborah Wye, The Museum of Modern Art
Publication excerptDeborah Wye, Artists and Prints: Masterworks from The Museum of Modern Art, New York: The Museum of Modern Art, 2004, p. 162
Printmaking, and in particular screenprint, was the basic medium for Andy Warhol's celebrated work on canvas and paper. While a prize-winning commercial artist in the 1950s, he devised a printing process of blotting outline drawings in ink from one surface to another. In a whimsical book of fashionable shoe styles, done at the time he was head of advertising at a shoe company, his blotted drawings were reproduced and then hand-colored by a team of friends.
Although Warhol adopted a bland, detached persona, he was an extremely energetic artist and self-promoter who played a significant role in redirecting the course of art. Rather than deriving his work from subjective personal feelings or idealist visions for abstraction, Warhol embraced popular culture and commercial processes. He eventually set up his own print-publishing company called Factory Additions, issuing portfolios of his signature themes. For Marilyn, he created ten highly variable portraits, exploiting the possibilities in screenprinting for shifting colors and off-register effects. By celebrating the seemingly impervious veneer of glamour and fame, but acknowledging its darker inner complexity, these prints reveal Warhol's subtle grasp of American culture.
Warhol did not participate in the collaborative printshop system established in America in the 1960s, but his work contributed decisively to what has been characterized as a "print boom" at that time. Through the course of his career, he made nearly eight hundred printed images on paper, about half published in traditional editions. He was also a surprisingly experimental printmaker, issuing hundreds of trial proofs and unique variants. The compositions that make up Camouflage, his last portfolio, constitute a playful commentary on abstraction. Through manipulation of scale and color from sheet to sheet, Warhol alters the visual impact of the military fabric used for concealment. In examples on canvas, he also superimposes his face, linking self-portraiture with disguise.
What is an "Original Print"
"Original" does not mean "Unique."
An "original print" is the image on paper or similar material made by one or more of the processes described here. Each medium has a special identifiable quality but because more than one impression of each image is possible. "Original" does not mean "unique."Read more about original prints at this squidoo lens.

"Andy Warhol Prints: A Catalogue Raisonné 1962-1987"
by - Authors Authur Danto and Donna De Salvo
Publisher - D.A.P/Ronald Feldman Fine Arts/Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts; 4 Rev Exp edition
A Catalogue Raisonné 1962-1987 traces Warhol's complete graphic oeuvre the first unique works on paper in 1962 through his final published portfolio in 1987. More than 1,100 works are illustrated, and complete documentation is provided for each. Among these are 650 unique edition prints, trial proof edition prints, and unpublished prints that Warhol created for personal projects and on commission, all works that were not included in the earlier editions of this catalogue.
The illustrations and technical data are complemented by two essays that explore Warhol's graphic production from different perspectives. "More than any other artist of his generation," writes Donna De Salvo, "Andy Warhol understood how the reproduced image had come to reflect and shape contemporary life.... Coca-Cola bottles, race riots in Birmingham, Alabama, and the empty desolation of the death chamber (electric chair] are like a catalogue of contemporary hieroglyphs scattered across the American landscape"
De Salvo presents an overview of Warhol's printmaking activities, tracing and analyzing the "subtle variations and permutations that Warhol was able to achieve through his expanded notion of the printing process.... With nearly scientific fervor, he dissected the very mechanics of image production and, through this unexpected commonplace vehicle, discovered a way to be original."
Arthur C. Danto's essay places Warhol's work within the context of its time. "Warhol had the tremendous gift of understanding which were the defining myths of a generation.... His political gift was his ability to make objective as art the defining images of the American consciousness-the images that expressed our desires, our fears, and what we ... trusted and mistrusted."

"Andy Warhol Portraits"
by Tony Shafrazi, Carter Ratcliffe, Robert Rosenblum
Publisher - Phaidon Press
First Book to Feature over 300 of Warhol's Famous Faces "I think everybody is my friend." Andy Warhol To the general public, Andy Warhol is known as a painter of legendary icons, from Marilyn and Jackie to his own ever-changing self-portrait. Less known are the portraits he made of socialites, art dealers, collectors, politicians, fashion designers and a variety of contemporary cult figures, mostly commissioned work that helped finance Warhol's many other artistic activities. Never before has there been a book that provides a comprehensive overview of all of Warhol's famous faces. "Andy Warhol Portraits" by Tony Shafrazi, is the first book to provide acomplete overview of Warhol's many celebrity portraits, from the famous to the infamous. It features over 300 glamorous portraits including manyworks largely unknown even by avid fans. "Andy Warhol Portraits" grew out of an exhibition that was organized by the Tony Shafrazi Gallery, New York in 2005. Shafrazi paid homage to a seminal display of Warhol's portraits that took place at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1979-80. The Whitney exhibition presented for the first time a large array of the commissioned portraits that the artist began in the early 1970s as a way to offset the cost of multiplying activities at the Factory. Shafrazi's exhibition included many portraits from the original Whitney exhibition as well as others. "Andy Warhol Portraits" takes Shafrazi's exhibition even further, nearly doubling the number of works shown. On the 20th anniversary of Warhol's death in 1987, there has never been a better time to reflect on Warhol's life and influence on pop culture today. According to a recent interview with Charlotte Abbot from Publishers Weekly, "It's a good moment for Andy Warhol. Culturally, he is still on top. "Art historians and critics have long neglected this body of Warhol's work, preferring to discuss and study the more iconic Marilyns or Campbell Soup Cans of the 1960's. "Andy Warhol Portraits" includes, in addition to famous portraits of Marlon Brando, Liz Taylor and Dennis Hopper, lesser-known images of actors Bill Murray and Meryl Streep, fellow artists Donald Juddand, Cy Twombly and royal family members such as Princess Diana and Princess Caroline. It also features a number of musicians, including Prince and Dolly Parton, and fashion icons including Diane von Furstenberg and Giorgio Armani. The book begins with an introduction by Tony Shafrazi, and features essays by established art historians/critics Carter Ratcliff and Robert Rosenblum, who lend insight into one of the least fully known but nevertheless prolific aspects of Warhol's endlessly fascinating career. The book makes the perfect gift for any pop culture fan.

Nearly all of Warhol's works in every medium were created with the help of friends, beginning with writer Ralph Ward, and the crowd at Serendipity 3 cafe in the 1950s, paid assistants beginning with Vito Giallo and Nathan Gluck in the 1950s, and managers such as Fred Hughes. Of all of these, the best known are the Superstars - the "underground" actors of his films of the 1960s such as Taylor Mead, Baby Jane Holzer, Ingrid Superstar, Brigid Polk, Edie Sedgwick, Ondine, Viva, Joe Dallesandro, Candy Darling, Jackie Curtis, and many others.

"Andy Warhol Screen Tests: The Films of Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonne, Volume One"
by Author Callie Angell
publisher - Harry N. Abrams, Inc.
In 1963, Warhol began making short, silent films of the people who came through his New York studio, accumulating personalities in the same way he collected Campbell's soup cans or Brillo boxes. The first in a two-volume catalogue (which will eventually encompass all of Warhol's cinema), this book offers some surprisingly engrossing entries, while serving as a basic reference guide to the films. In addition to supplying the expected cataloguing data (dates, running time, cast, credits and other notations), the capsule biographies of the subjects and film action narratives reveal the fascinating and creative world of the Factory. Here is the tragic Freddy Herko, who "danced out the window of John Dodd's fifth-floor apartment"; models Ivy Nicholson and Imu; poets John Ashbery and Ted Berrigan; and musicians Lou Reed and Bob Dylan. Equally interesting are blurbs about the unknowns: "A young man named Stevie, with an illegible last name. Near the end of the roll, someone throws water on his face from offscreen." Several essays speculate about Warhol's overarching intentions for the films and discuss their mysteriously limited showings. Extravagantly produced with 780 photographs, the book reinforces the sense of Warhol as an expert in subverting notions of celebrity.

Factory Work: Warhol, Wyeth and Basquiat (Paperback)
by Joyce Stoner (Author)
Book Description
Factory Work examines Andy Warhol's (1928-1987) role as a mentor for two younger artists from opposite corners of the art world. Jamie Wyeth (b. 1946) and Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) were young, independent artists with their own substantial reputations when Andy Warhol invited each of them to paint in his "Factory" on 860 Broadway, New York City. In 1976 Andy Warhol and Jamie Wyeth painted each other's portraits. They jointly attended openings from 1976 to 1980; the exhibitions were known informally as "The Patriarch of Pop Paints the Prince of Realism," and Warhol visited Wyeth's farm in Pennsylvania. Basquiat rented a studio on Great Jones Street from Warhol beginning in August 1983 and collaborated with Warhol (first as part of a trio including Francesco Clemente) later the same year and in 1984 began joint projects with Warhol alone and exhibited in 1985. Warhol influenced these younger artists, and they enabled him to stay connected to new audiences of an evolving art world. At the same time, Warhol's paintings demonstrably changed due to his contact with Wyeth and Basquiat.
The works illustrated provide clues toward further investigation of these two unique partnerships, also documented in Warhol's published diary entries, Interview magazines, and Warhol's tape-recorded conversations. There are four catalogue essays: Robert Rosenblum, Professor of Fine Arts at New York University and internationally known curator of 20th-century art at the Guggenheim Museum, examines Warhol as mentor for Jamie Wyeth, "a card-carrying member of a Yankee dynasty of three generations of ultra-WASP artists," as well as for Basquiat, the "dark-skinned crazy kid from Brooklyn who began his meteoric career by raucously embracing a counter-cultural life"; Christine Daulton, consultant conservator for the Warhol Museum, describes and provides recreations of the unusual techniques used by Warhol to create his oxidation portraits in the 1970s and 1980s; Joyce Hill Stoner, conservator, art historian, and Director of the University of Delaware Preservation Studies Program, writes about Wyeth's influence on Warhol that can be seen in Warhol's 1976 cat and dog paintings, his 1979 pig photographs and print, and his 1976-1977 skull paintings and self-portraits with skull; Margaret Rose Vendryes of the City University of New York discusses Basquiat's work and his "tagging" of Warhol's commercial images on their collaborative paintings and collages. The text and illustrations also offer insights into the celebrity-obsessed culture of the '70s and the drug- and money-mad art market of the '80s.

the "Andy Warhol Show"
by Gianni Mercurio (editor), Danila Morera (editor)
One of the most eclectic, celebrated and influential figures of the second half of the twentieth century, Andy Warhol is an emblem of American culture of the sixties and seventies. The Andy Warhol Show sheds light not only on the revolutionary role that Warhol played in art but also his influence on graphic design, communication and fashion. Introduced by the editors Gianni Mercurio and Daniela Morera, the exhibition catalogue includes new essays by Bruno Bischofberger, Victor Bokris, Ronald Feldman, Glenn 'O Brien and a critical essay by Demetrio Paparoni.
The main nucleus of works reproduced in this striking catalogue is impressive: in addition to the 200 paintings which span his entire career, the book showcases a rich collection of photographs, graphic works and drawings, including Warhol's early illustrations for fashion magazines. The fundamental themes of the Warhol aesthetic can be seen here in some of their most representative examples: the beauty-success-power myth (portraits of Marilyn, Liz Taylor, Elvis Presley, Jaqueline Kennedy, Mao); consumerism (Campbell's Soup, Brillo Box, Dollar Sign); advertising, serial repetition of an image, the tragic symbols of catastrophe and death (Suicide, Electric Chair); portraits of artists, dealers, friends such as Leo Castelli, Keith Haring, Dennis Hopper; the passage through abstract art (Camouflage, Shadows); collaborations with Jean-Michel Basquiat and Francesco Clemente; and The Last Supper, Warhol's final series of works.

"Andy Warhol"
by Andy Warhol (editor), Pontus Hulten (editor), Kasper Konig (editor), Olle Granath (editor)
Famed and prized among Andy Warhol aficionados, the Swedish Moderna Museet's massive catalogue for the artist's 1968 solo exhibition was one of the great accomplishments of art publishing. In The Photobook: A History, Vol. II, Martin Parr and Gerry Badger describe it as "a quintessential photobook, cornucopias of photographic imagery in which found photographs, snapshots, photographs by Warhol's associates, photographic reproductions of his 'paintings' (themselves silk-screened photographs) and other kinds of imagery are collaged to talk about one basic subject--the gargantuan ego and artistic talent of Andy Warhol... It is an exhibition catalogue that transcends any limitations that might be suggested by this genre." The text for the Moderna Museet catalogue is also significant: instead of essays, the editors let the artist speak for himself, in a series of quotations published in English and Swedish. Here, Warhol's most famous aphorism first saw print: "In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes." Most of the images in this book derive from a photo album donated by Warhol to the Moderna Museet that contains several hundred black-and-white photos from his life in the second half of the 1960s. Many were taken by the photographers Billy Name and Stephen Shore, who both got their first assignments through their photographs of artists, rock stars, models, actors and others in the circles around Warhol at the Factory. Other featured photographers in the book include Rudy Burckhardt, Eric Pollitzer and John D. Schiff. For Moderna Museet's fiftieth anniversary in 2008, and its exhibition Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other Rooms (created in collaboration with the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam), Steidl adds to the celebrations by reprinting a new edition of this classic book.

Andy Warhol: Red Books Hardcover Box Set
by Andy Warhol (Author), Francois-Marie Banier (Photographer)
Book Description
The Polaroid camera combined two of Andy Warhol's obsessions--the disposable nature of modern consumerism and the photograph as ready-made. An inveterate and relentless user of Polaroid cameras, he made tens of thousands of instant photographs during the 1970s. Many of these were made over a short time span and focused on one individual or subject, sometimes a formal sitting for a portrait, an informal event with friends, or a party at The Factory. Between 1970 and 1976, Warhol established a rigorous system of cataloguing. He would take home the Polaroids, edit and sequence them, and then enter them in individual red Holson Polaroid albums. These albums, with Warhol's original sequence and themes, have remained intact. Red Books is a red wooden box containing 11 of Warhol's Holson Polaroid albums. Each book contains a facsimile reproduction of Warhol's sequence. The themes include a study of Paloma Picasso, a day trip to Montauk, Mick Jagger, the "Asshole" painting, and John and Yoko. In addition to the 11 red books, a black book is included which contains a text by Fran ois-Marie Banier explaining the significance of these albums within Warhol's oeuvre and how they act as a visual diary of his work, offering unrivaled insight into his creative process.

Campbell's Soup Boxes Hardcover
by Itzhak Goldberg (Author), Andy Warhol (Author)
Book Description
Pracitcally everyone recognizes the Campbell's Tomato Soup Can images by Andy Warhol that have come to define American Pop Art. Less well known, but equally intriguing, is another part of Warhol's Campbell's oeuvre: the Campbell's soup boxes, which he made during the mid-1980s using paint, silkscreen, and drawing to render these boxes in his inimitable style. Warhol, whose fascination with advertising and consumerism was born of his early career as a commercial artist, took as his inspiration the endlessly replicated images of modern branding, and thus helped to create and define the major art movement of recent decades. This volume, with an essay tracing Warhol's history with Campbell's, reproduces more than 60 of Warhol's Campbell's Soup Box pieces, and as such, adds to the growing documentation of this towering presence in 20th-century art.

From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Andy Warhol's Interview magazine celebrates its 35th anniversary with this spectacular seven-volume retrospective of its first decade. It's a massive, definitive reference that cuts a wide swath through '70s pop culture with vibrant and energetic interviews and photos. It also has the visceral impact of an objet d'art, the books are housed in a Karl Lagerfeld designed crate with wheels and a retractable handle. The selected interviews and photos from the first decade have not been reset or resized; each 12"×15" volume offers exact reprints of the magazine's original pages, including spelling errors and original ads. Each volume is a treasure trove of sparkling, uninhibited and entertaining chats with icons on the rise Bette Midler, Jack Nicholson, Lily Tomlin, underground favorites John Waters, Holly Woodlawn, Mary Woronov, living legends Bette Davis, Butterfly McQueen, Gloria Swanson and those who defined the '70s Rona Barrett, Halston, Calvin Klein. The Covers which runs 160 pages reproduces every cover from Interview's first decade in full color. The Pictures (276 pages) features photo shoots by Robert Mapplethorpe, Herb Ritts, Bruce Weber, Francesco Scavullo and others. The Interviews (348 pages) offers 123 profiles, including ones of Muhammad Ali, the Andrews Sisters, Gore Vidal, the Talking Heads and Tennessee Williams. The Andy Warhol Interviews (320 pages) are 77 interviews conducted by Warhol, with such personalities as John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Sophia Loren, and Michael Jackson. The Fashion (172 pages) chats with designers like Versace, Edith Head and Yves Saint Laurent. The Directors (148 pages) includes portraits of 45 directors ranging from Cukor, Hitchcock and Capra to the younger generation of Wertmuller, Spielberg and Altman. The final volume is The Back of the Book, a slim (64 pages) collection of Fran Lebowitz's "I Cover the Waterfront" columns. What makes Interview's conversations unique is their free-for-all spirit. Warhol brought friends to interviews and taped the marathon session. Transcripts include interruptions for ordering food and drop-by celebrity appearances. Sometimes even the interviewers shine: a star-struck Angelica Huston interviews Mae West; 12-year-old Tatum O'Neal visits Seventh Avenue designers; and Anthony Perkins meets his future wife, Berry Berenson, when she interviews him. The vastness of this undertaking is matched by the pleasures found on every page.

Book Description
The October 2004 edition of Interview magazine will mark 35 years of the award winning journal founded by pop art pioneer Andy Warhol.

Your Pop Art Claim to Fame
Very few artists receive the level of recognition that secures for them a place in the public imagination. Andy Warhol was an artist who did. However, this very celebrity of Warhol''s, his sheer, inescapable fame, has often disguised the fact that he was one of the most serious, and one of the most important, artists of the twentieth century. He quite simply changed how we see all the world around us. He had an uncanny ability to select precise images that still have great resonance today.
