194 - Warhol, Andy The Films of Andy Warhol – Catalogue Raisonné

Warhol, Andy The Films of Andy Warhol – Catalogue Raisonné 1963–1965 In the 1960s, Andy Warhol (1928–1987) produced hundreds of film and video works—short and long, silent and with sound, scripted and improvised. This catalogue raisonné of the artist’s films, a companion to the 2006 publication *Andy Warhol Screen Tests*, focuses on works he produced from 1963 to 1965. Detailed cataloging of each work is combined with informative and insightful essays that explore Warhol’s influences, source material, working methods, and technical innovations, as well as his engagement with the people he filmed and how they came to life on screen. In addition, comprehensive entries provide detailed summaries and analyses of more than a hundred individual works. The extensive illustration program includes countless stills and documentary images to further elucidate the film works, including many that have rarely been seen. Warhol’s dynamic and creative approach to filmmaking redefined the genre, drawing audiences and receiving both positive attention and harsh criticism. In 1970, he placed his films in storage for the next 14 years, removing them from public view and distribution.
