A critical and creative observer of American society, he explored key themes of \u003cstrong\u003econsumerism, materialism, media, and celebrity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on contemporary advertisements, comic strips, consumer products, and Hollywood's most famous faces, Warhol proposed a \u003cstrong\u003eradical reevaluation of what constituted artistic subject matter\u003c\/strong\u003e. Through Warhol, a Campbell's soup can and Coca Cola bottle became as worthy of artistic status as any traditional still life. At the same time, Warhol \u003cstrong\u003ereconfigured the role of the artist\u003c\/strong\u003e. Famously stating \"I want to be a machine,\" he systematically reduced the presence of his own authorship, working with \u003cstrong\u003emass-production methods and images\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as dozens of assistants in a studio he dubbed \u003cstrong\u003ethe Factory. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book introduces Warhol's multifaceted, prolific oeuvre, which \u003cstrong\u003erevolutionized distinctions between \"high\" and \"low\" art\u003c\/strong\u003e and integrated ideas of living, producing, and consuming that remain central questions of modern experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author: \u003cbr\u003eKlaus Honnef is honorary professor of photography theory at the Kassel Art Academy.
