The Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné: Paintings and Sculptures mid-1977-1980 (Volume 6)

Volume 6, the final of four volumes dedicated to Warhol’s works of the 1970s, is the third to document the paintings that Warhol produced at 860 Broadway, the studio he would occupy until 1983.

This volume includes 741 paintings and sculptures, featuring the epic Shadows project, the Retrospective and Reversal series, Hearts, and the Studio 54 gift paintings, as well as the BMW Art Car and the artist’s first paintings made with diamond dust, the Gem series.

Volume 6 also continues the Catalogue Raisonné’s detailed study of Warhol’s portrait practice. In 1978 and 1979, he photographed nearly 50 sitters with his Polaroid Big Shot camera, including Truman Capote and Liza Minnelli, and painted approximately 200 portrait canvases.
