In appreciating Andy Warhol's body of work, one is constantly awed by its sheer volume-there is always something new to see. This catalogue raisonne, updated from previous editions with 500 new images, comes a step closer to defining the prodigious pop artist's legacy in a medium he re-imagined for modern times, printmaking, and which was central to his life's work. Numerous of his most famous images can be found here, including the electric chair and Marilyn Monroe, along with reams of ephemera that bear testament to the artist's restless, experimental, rarely uninteresting energy. There are t-shirts and advertisements, commissioned portraits and shopping bags, generally rendered in Warhol's signature palette of hot, citrus-y colors. Images of gems, sunsets and historical figures refine our concept of not only the artist, but of the times in which he lived as well. With well-turned essays by Arthur Danto and Donna De Salvo, this document will be required reading for all Warhol scholars and fascinating material for anyone interested in the course of 20th century art.

From Library Journal
No one can doubt that Andy Warhol has influenced the American art world both as an artist and as a personality. Feldman and Schellmann's catalog provides the specialist with a multitude of color images that do much to illuminate Warhol as a printmaker. Unfortunately, the reproductions take up less space than the blank areas surrounding them. These small reproductions are preceded by two brief essays that provide a less-than-adequate introduction to the prints. Geldzahler has only praise for Warhol and dutifully acclaims his ``contribution to art history.'' Roberta Bernstein's essay is more substantive; she is more analytical and willing to make critical judgments. Though useful as a catalog of Warhol's 364 prints, this book is not what it could be.
