Andy Warhol: Polaroids XL

Heaviest book of the year! When this book arrived in the mail I knew it was a book but couldn't begin to guess what could be so heavy. What a surprise to see it was Andy Warhol Polaroids (Taschen). This massive volume comes in at a large 10x13 inches and 560 pages. Literally hundreds of polaroids taken by Andy Warhol are presented in full color. The polaroids are presented as objects so you see not only the image but the white border or the polaroid as well. There is a mixture of polaroids that are reproduced at actual size, and then some are at smaller size several to a page. The editors have done a good job of making sure the key portraits get full size treatment, and when they show a sequence of polaroids of the same person you will get one at full size with the others smaller. Reproduction quality is very good and the hardcover binding/presentation is sturdy and impressive in design. For Warhol fans this is the essential Polaroids book. Highly recomended!

This book just arrived and it is stunning! It has a double front cover - which makes the whole thing look like a book wrapped in a box. It is very heavy, oversized, and stands on it's own as a work of art. Perfect as a decorative accent in any interior space. The photographs themselves are amazing, and of very high quality. An absolute must for any Warhol fan, and a great purchase for anyone who appreciates great art which is beautifully presented. This book is truly something special and honors one of the greatest artists of our time in a bold (yet elegant) way. Nicely done Taschen!

This book is huge & heavy ! The pictures are great, brings you back to a great time in history. If you loved Andy, you need this book on your coffee table. Mine came in perfect condition & a at a great sale price ! No complaints here.

The design of this book is wonderful. It's like an icon triptych~Warhol would have approved. What I loved most about this book was that there were images from all periods of Warhol's great career and numerous images never seen/published. Well designed and great content. Loved the images of Warhol's closest companions, Amos and Archie his beloved dachshunds, and the beautiful Jed Johnson. Great book. Buy it!

cool book. Wouldn't pay full price for it, but it's a cool nice to have.

This book is SO heavy. It's huge. But very worth it. It's sitting on my coffee table - it's a great conversation piece and the photos in it are really cool. My favorite is a photo of Salvadore Dali and Alice Cooper -- how random! 5 stars :)

I ordered this as a gift for a girlfriend of mine who has EVERYTHING! I also purchased a Fujimax instant camera to go along with the gift so she could have fun taking her own Polaroids. Let's just say the gift was a hit! I love Taschen books. They are amazing works of art.

This book is AMAZING. It's so large and beautiful. I never knew Andy Warhol made as many polaroids as he did. Everyone who's anyone was shot by Andy, he did a great job documenting a beautiful time in American art.

Love this book. Excellent and HUGE coffee table book. Looks beautiful on the table but actually fascinating and gorgeously produced. No idea how amazon send this for free, it must cost £10 in postage.

Libro maestoso, qualita' impeccabile, una vera goduria sfogliarlo, imperdibile per tutti gli amanti di Andy... pacco arrivato rapidamente ed in pefette condizioni !!! TOP +++++++++

Depuis GÉANT, sûrement l'ouvrage le plus lourd et complet sur l'œuvre photographique d'Andy Warhol. Un recueil de Polaroids tout quadri de 564 pages livré très bien protégé et arrivé dans les délais convenus. Un cadeau à recommander à ses amis les plus proches. Une adresse à garder !!

Better than your present day instagrams.

If you love Polaroid and AW this is a must. Artist, actors, performer, politicians and friends POLA portraited by Andy. Great (and big) book by Taschen.
