Objects Andy Warhol: Love, Sex and Desire, Drawings 1950-1962 by Taschen

The world never tires of Andy Warhol’s prolific oeuvre. This latest Taschen release presents a series of lesser-known works from the period of 1950 to 1962: his seductive drawings celebrating male beauty and sexuality. Illustrated within this elegant tome are over three hundred drawings rendered primarily in ink on paper, with decoratively adorned pages portraying nude or sexually charged young men. The works were created as a way of bursting into the New York art scene in 1956 – though Warhol underestimated the pervasive homophobia of the time. This publication finally allows his colourful cast of characters to sing.
