This book is the visual testament to Andy Warhol at his most playful and poignant; it is America in all its astonishing contradictions. It is the important and beautiful work of the most American artist of the 20th century. From his early portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Jacqueline Kennedy, Elvis Presley, and Campbell's Soup Cans to his more recent works featuring Liza Minnelli, Diana Ross, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Donald Duck, Andy Warhol's twenty years as an internationally renowned artist have been nothing short of a passionate love affair with the United States. Thanks to his ever-present camera, we now have a love letter, a memento, and a stunning portrait of modern life: America. Selected from his archives over a decade, it is a work of dazzling insight, a book of strange beauty and enormous contradictions. Here are the private lives of the rich and famous, today's young Americans with their sexy, muscular bodies, and the world of the streets with America's poorest people.
