The Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonne, Paintings 1976-1978

This two-book addition to The Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonne persuasively demonstrates the subversive core of Warhol’s art. Intent on radical departure from his portraiture in the early seventies, Warhol’s production gradually became anything but ‘just faces’. From portraits of athletes and self-portraits to his Skull and Hammer and Sickle series, the Torso and Sex Parts paintings, and his abstract Piss, Oxidation, and Cum canvases, volume 5 showcases Warhol’s work as powerful, and provocative as ever.
