Despite his fame, Andy Warhol remains an enigmatic figure. Regarded as the prince of Pop Art, he took everyday images - Marylin Monroe, the Empire State Building and dollar bill - and transformed them into works of art via repetition. This book looks at his life and work.

Pape du Pop'art, Andy Warhol a révolutionné l'art des années 1960. Iconoclaste et provocateur, il démultiplie le visage de Marilyn Monroe, sacralise la bouteille de Coca-Cola ou la boîte de soupe Campbell. Pourtant, en dépit de sa renommée, Warhol demeure une figure énigmatique : était-il un habile décadent qui exploitait les subcultures du sexe et de la drogue ? Ou était-il le plus brillant témoin de son temps ?
