An Instant with an Icon: Andy Warhol's Polaroids 📸

Warhol was a relentless documentarian, rarely seen without his Polaroid camera. From the late 1950s until his death, he used it to capture the world as he saw it, creating an astonishing visual diary of his life and times. This book, created in collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation, compiles hundreds of these intimate and often impromptu snapshots. It is a treasure trove for anyone interested in 20th century art, Pop Art, or art history.

408 pages 📖

Flipping through the pages is like gaining backstage access to a bygone era. You'll find portraits of legendary figures such as Mick Jagger, Alfred Hitchcock, Jack Nicholson, Yves Saint Laurent, Pelé, and Debbie Harry. These celebrity photos are juxtaposed with candid images of Warhol's inner circle, landscapes, still lifes, and a diverse range of objects from Cabbage Patch dolls to his iconic soup cans. The raw, unvarnished quality of these Polaroids offers a unique and personal window into the artist's vision.

Much like Instagram today, Warhol's Polaroids were an instant record of his world, capturing the vibrant energy and cultural shifts of his time. This book is a must have for art collectors, photography enthusiasts, and anyone captivated by the creative spirit of Andy Warhol.

As a publisher, Taschen is renowned for its commitment to democratising art and creating high quality, meticulously crafted books. Their collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation ensures that this volume is not only a beautiful object but also a significant contribution to the study of modernist art and photography.

Did you know? Warhol was famously quoted as saying, "In the future, everyone will be world famous for 15 minutes." These Polaroids, capturing a fleeting moment in time, perfectly embody this sentiment. He also suffered from chorophobia, the fear of dancing, despite being a regular at New York's most exclusive nightclubs. These facts, among many others, highlight the fascinating paradoxes of a true creative genius.
