It was published in the same year as the “Index Book”. – “He communicated with other people by photographing them, anytime and anywhere. He collected quantities of celebrity and fashion photographs, published his own photo books and made films as if they were stretched photographs. To portray someone, he photographed them. And he was photographed like no other artist of the century: “Photography and photography form the center of Andy Warhol’s work” (U. M. Schneede). – Very good copy.
