To the general public, Andy Warhol (American, 1928–1987) is known as a pop artist and painter of famous American icons. Less familiar are the portraits Warhol made throughout his career of socialites, art dealers, collectors, politicians, and a variety of contemporary cult figures, mostly commissioned work that helped finance his other wide-ranging artistic activities. Featuring more than 300 portraits from the 1960s until the artist’s death in 1987, this book is the first to provide a comprehensive view of this overlooked body of work, which combines portraits of such well-known 20th-century icons as Jackie Kennedy, Mick Jagger, Liza Minnelli, and Queen Elizabeth, with many paintings of virtual unknowns. With contextualizing essays, this volume is a facebook of the amazing cast of characters that populated Warhol’s fascinating, star-studded, and, at times, sordid world.

320 pages, 350 full-color illustrations, 9 7/8 in. x 11 3/8 in. Hardcover; clothbound, with jacket.
