Andy Warhol, New York City style king and father of Pop art, was best known for his screen prints and large-scale paintings — bold 1960s portrayals of Campbell’s soup cans and celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe and Jacqueline Kennedy. He was, however, also a prolific and accomplished draftsman. Andy Warhol Drawings, 1942–1987, the first in-depth survey of its kind, brought together more than 200 rarely exhibited drawings that provide clear evidence that drawing was central to Andy Warhol’s artistic production. In addition to more than 200 drawings, the exhibition featured paintings, films, photography, and documentation of Warhol’s social milieu — including taped interviews — that illustrated his days at the Factory where he was surrounded by literary, artistic and musical Superstars. 

A 320-page catalogue accompanies the exhibition featuring 248 color plates,15 figures in black and white, and essays by Mark Francis and Dieter Koepplin.
