Andy Warhol Men by Alan Cumming
Rarely seen and often created for his own delight, Pop artist Andy Warhol's images of men are among his most personal and sensual work. Andy Warhol Men showcases Warhol's illustrations, paintings, drawings, silkscreens, Polaroid studies and fine art photographs for the first time in this handsome and intimate volume. Mostly nudes, this gallery of delights includes the beautiful boys and drag queens who adorned Warhol's legendary Factory studio, as well as less racy illustrations of celebrated figures such as Christopher Isherwood, Truman Capote and James Dean. Warhol's perceptively funny observations are sprinkled throughout, while a preface places the work in the context of his career, and a foreword by Alan Cumming offers a witty reflection on art and desire. Andy Warhol Men is an elegant and playful celebration of male beauty.
