This e-book is NOW AVAILABLE on the iBookstore

Carter Ratcliff's noted account of Andy Warhol's life and career, published in print form as part of Abbeville's celebrated Modern Masters series, is now available as an e-book.

With a keen critical intelligence, Ratcliff traces Warhol's rise from commercial artist to world-famous painter and proprietor of the notorious Factory. This Andy Warhol e-book displays over one hundred of Warhol's works in full color, among them the whimsical early drawings of the 50s, the ubiquitous Pop images of the 60s, and the endlessly experimental prints and paintings of the 70s and 80s.

The full apparatus includes notes on technique, artist's statements, and a useful chronology. Readers can navigate seamlessly between text and illustrations with easy-to-use links and multiple viewing options.
