About the Work

Andy Warhol’s Pop Art and insightful commentary on advertising and celebrity culture are still highly acclaimed and relevant today, even after many years of their creation. Although Warhol himself was a controversial figure both personally and professionally, he played a crucial role in pioneering the Pop movement, and his works now command astronomical prices. Eric Shiner, a Warhol expert and former director of the Andy Warhol Museum, curates the 100 most important and unique works that illustrate the evolution of this celebrated artist in this evocative addition to Assouline’s Ultimate Collection. This stunning compendium traces Warhol’s dynamic career from the late 1940s to the end of the 1980s, including rare and highly prized pieces that are part of museum collections and cannot be obtained by a single collector. While many people are familiar with Campbell’s Soup Cans and the Marilyn Diptych, Andy Warhol: The Impossible Collection delves deeper, presenting less well-known yet equally compelling pieces from Warhol’s impressive oeuvre, encompassing paintings, prints, sculptures, films, and photographs.
