Andy Warhol is known for his print screens of Marilyn Monroe and Campbell’s Soup cans, but the 1960s pop artist actually started his career illustrating novel covers and books of poetry.
The Morgan Library & Museum’s exhibition, Warhol By the Book — which wrapped up this weekend — chronicled the artist’s early career as an art student in the 1950s through the 1980s by presenting a collection of all different kinds of books associated with him, from a high school psychology textbook filled with sloppy scribbles, to books that he himself authored like The Philosophy of Andy Warhol, POPism, and The Andy Warhol Diaries, along with everything in between.
