Description

Andy Warhol's queerness played a significant role in shaping his life and work. This collection of essays explores, analyzes, and celebrates the impact of Warhol's queer identity on his film and art. The contributors examine Warhol through various theoretical lenses, including art history, critical race theory, psychoanalysis, feminist theory, cinema studies, and social and literary theory. They consider the homoerotic subjects, gay audiences, and queer contexts that have fueled fascination with Warhol, as well as the role of institutions such as the art world and mass culture in sanitizing his work. By exploring Warhol's queerness, this collection provides a nuanced understanding of his career as a social reflection on various institutions and discourses.
