Description

Andy Warhol's pursuit of ideal beauty is a thread that runs throughout his career. From the late 1940s until his death in 1987, Warhol continuously searched for and visualized an ideal of male beauty, creating lasting images of what he desired. Warhol's body of work reveals a complex and nuanced exploration of this theme, spanning multiple production phases and stages of his career. Many of these works were considered inappropriate or immoral during his lifetime, never receiving the public exposure they deserved. This publication brings together a large survey of Warhol's work on this central aspect of his oeuvre. For the first time, Neue Nationalgalerie presents a comprehensive look at Warhol's search for ideal beauty, offering insight into an artist who never had a real "coming-out" during his lifetime.
