Text by Blake Gopnik, Lynne Tillman, Alison M. Gingeras. Interview with Corice Arman by Brett Gorvy. Poetry by John Giorno.
An opulent appreciation of Warhol’s complex relationship to women and femininity
Dedicated to Andy Warhol's (1928–87) portraits of women from the early 1960s through the 1980s, and featuring five trifolds and a tipped-on cover, Warhol Women explores the artist's female subjects and his complex relationship to myths and ideals of femininity, beauty and power.
Here, Blake Gopnik discusses the women essential to Warhol during his emergence as an artist, while Lynne Tillman examines his relationship with his mother. Brett Gorvy's interview with Corice Arman relays her experience sitting for two portraits by Warhol, and John Giorno (the subject of Warhol's film Sleep) contributes the poem "La saggezza delle streghe/Wisdom of the Witches." Alison M. Gingeras writes on women that played vital roles throughout his career, from Ethel Scull and Edie Sedgwick to Brigid Berlin, Pat Hackett and others.
Also included are source images and Polaroids of the women in Warhol's portraits.
"Blondie" (1981) is reproduced from 'Warhol Women.'

Holidays should bring joy, and this year, both Dolly Parton and Lévy Gorvy's Warhol Women are doing that for us. Why? Well as far as Dolly goes, that should be obvious. And as for the book, Warhol Women is just way more generous and glamorous than most. A large-format, silver-foiled hardcover with tipped on Jackie, it's filled with both familiar and unfamiliar portraits of Andy's muses, and what can we say? It just feels like the right pre-gift-wrapped Warhol book for this moment. "Warhol women were movie stars and politicians, drag queens and society girls, dropouts and rebels," Dominique Lévy and Brett Gorvy write. "Despite their differences, in his silkscreens they share their femininity. For this, he idolized them and wanted to catapult every one of them to superstardom." continue to blog
