Scholarly considerations of Andy Warhol abound, including very fine catalogues raisonné, notable biographies, and essays in various exhibition catalogues and anthologies. But nowhere is there an in-depth scholarly examination of Warholâ¿s oeuvre as a wholeâ¿until now. Jonathan Flatleyâ¿s Like Andy Warhol is a revelatory look at the artistâ¿s likeness-producing practices, not only reflected in his famous Campbellâ¿s soup cans and Marilyn Monroe silkscreens but across Warholâ¿s whole range of interests including movies, drag queens, boredom, and his sprawling collections. Flatley shows us that Warholâ¿s art is an illustration of the artistâ¿s own talent for âliking.â? He argues that there is in Warholâ¿s productions a utopian impulse, an attempt to imagine new, queer forms of emotional attachment and affiliation, and to transform the world into a place where these forms find a new home. Like Andy Warhol is not just the best full-length critical study of Warhol in print, it is also an instant classic of queer theory.
