Andy Warhol "Giant" Size

Andy Warhol "Giant" Size remains the definitive document of this remarkable creative force, and a telling look at late twentieth-century pop culture. Now in a more accessible trim size, it's still packed with more than 2,000 illustrations culled from rarely seen archival material, documentary photography, and artwork. Dave Hickey's compelling essay on Warhol's geek-to-guru evolution combines with chapter openers by Warhol friends and insiders to give special insight into the way the enigmatic artist led his life and made his art.

The publishing gods have answered our prayers and the tome will now be available in mini format... More than 2,000 photograph and illustrations, including rarely seen material."-- Attitude”
