Pop Art, Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House

Introduction

Pop art, Bob Dylan, underground filmmaking - in the 1960s, a cultural storm was unfolding in New York City, and at the center of it was Andy Warhol. His studio, a Manhattan studio known as The Factory, was the hub of the cultural scene of the 1960s. It was here that he created the soup cans that defined Pop art and large-scale portraits of cultural icons, shot Chelsea Girls and other Warhol classics, and featured everyone from Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground to Edie Sedgwick, and Warhol himself, observing that incredible time. With humorous and candid revelations, Popism is the ultimate insider's account of the decade that changed the world.
