Résumé:
From his student days onward, Andy Warhol(1928-1987) was fascinated by the medium of print. He designed covers for large publishing companies and made silkscreens and lithographs for the covers of poetry books written by author friends. In his own books he documented the film and photographic work done at his Factory. Warhol also blasted apart the usual genres of literature by having sound recordings transcribed and published. Including a complete bibliography, this volume is the first substantial presentation of Warhol's important innovations in printed books.
