About the Item

Andy Warhol Record Art 1964: 1964 1st pressing, 'This Is John Wallowitch' featuring cover design by Andy Warhol. Featured prominently in 'Andy Warhol: The Record Covers, 1949-1987- Catalog Raisonne' by Warhol scholar Paul Marechal, whom best describes the work as follows: "Warhol innovated by using a technique he had experimented with in his painted work, the photo booth. Due to this very practical machine, the artist could control the production of images and then reframe and adjust according to his whim. The effect of the repetition is gripping. The singer appears in no less than 56 photographs... The cover presents a strange paradox in which the shots often construct an identity based on the anonymity of the subject..."

Cover: Some minor shelf-wear; minor staining lower left; otherwise good overall vintage condition. Record: Good overall vintage condition. Warhol credit found at bottom edge of image 3. Looks super cool framed. _ Obsessed with celebrity, consumer culture, and mechanical reproduction, Pop Art king, Andy Warhol created some of the 20th century’s most iconic images. Warhol was widely influenced by popular & consumer culture, with this being evident in some of his most famous works: 32 Campbell's soup cans, Brillo pad box sculptures, and portraits of Marilyn Monroe & Mick Jagger, for example. Rejecting the standard painting and sculpting modes of his era, Warhol embraced silk-screen printmaking to achieve his characteristic hard edges and flat areas of color. The artist mentored Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat and continues to influence contemporary art around the world: His most bold successors include Richard Prince, Takashi Murakami, and Jeff Koons. Warhol has been the subject of exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Museum of Modern Art, Tate Modern, and Centre Pompidou, among other institutions.
