About this ebook
Andy Warhol began using wallpaper as an artistic medium in the mid-1960s. Despite the extensive scholarship on his work, this aspect of his oeuvre has received relatively little attention in research. This book examines these overlooked pieces to highlight key shifts in his artistic practice. Wallpaper and interior decoration were central to Warhol's transition from graphic designer to Pop artist and his complex engagement with painting. The medium’s affordability and mass-producibility enabled Warhol to challenge the conventions of the traditionally serious, heteronormative, and male-dominated realm of painting. These medial characteristics align with Warhol’s self-fashioning as an artist who deliberately employed techniques of queer opacity and disguise.
- First monographic work on Andy Warhol’s wallpapers
- New insights gained from an in-depth exploration of previously overlooked archival material
- Innovative methodology combining queer theory and masculinity studies
