With more than 250 illustrations including rare drawings and photographs, vintage advertisements, artist books, and archival material, Adman explores this early phase of Andy Warhol’s art practice and his career inadvertising between 1949 and 1961. The typography of Warhol’s mother, Julia Warhola, is also featured. The book is published in association with The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh.
