Product Description
144 pp. 31 cm. illus. Hardcover. An early, if not the first, appearance in print for Andy Warhol. It's 1962 and time for Art in America's 9th annual "New Talent U.S.A" feature. Ansel Adams, Aaron Siskind, and Minor White are the judges for the photography section; Ada Louise Huxtable is the sole judge for the section on architecture, the judges for the sections on sculpture, painting, and "Prints and Drawings" are all names long since forgotten. In "Prints and Drawings" the new talent include Kelly Fearing, Warrington Colescott, John Frazier and a young man named Andy Warhol. Born August 6, 1931, from Pittsburgh, without representation, his Artist's Statement is as follows: "I adore America and these are some comments on it: My image is a statement of the symbols of the harsh and personal products and brash materialistic objects on which America is built today. It is a projection of everything that can be bought and sold. The practical but impermanent symbols that sustain us." Book condition: wear to corners of upper and lower covers with instances of boards visible; the spine has undoubtedly been reattached, and not particularly skillfully. Claes Oldenberg is a "New Talent U.S.A" pick for sculpture!
