Books:
Madoff, Steven. Pop Art A Critical History.
Berkeley:University of California Press, 1997.
In Madoff's introduction to "Pop Art," he praises this particular style of art. He describes the art as "extroverted." He also beleieves that pop art has influenced our art world by saying, "it is better to say that the commercial sensibility that inspired pop art has come to grip our culture ever more deeply." Artists that were involved with American pop such as Andy Warhol left imprints for artists after their time. Madoff points out that "Dennis Rodman's book, 'Planet Hollywood, Calvein Klein ads...are all post-Warholian phenomena." Andy Warhol's lesson was that art is all about commerce and packaging.
Weitman, Wendy. Pop Impressions Europe/USA.
New York: The Museum of Modern Art, 1999.
The author Weiman developed this book through Pop Art's influence in her life in addition to her friend's assistance. The exhibition that is displayed in this book help represent to the reader, the style of pop art. The book does not read like a normal book but also as avisual guide through the topic of Pop Art. Artists who were pop artists are described along with an accompanying work that they have contributed to the art world.
Sarat, Austin. Identities, politics, and Rights.
Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1995.
There is a section in this book that describes "the coincidence of the life and work of Andy Warhol and the development of a peculiarly American Right-the right of publicity." The book focuses on rights and the issues that surround this particular topic. Warhol comes into play here because he imitates original products. For instance, Warhol painted Campbell Soup. Reading this book broadens one's own perception of what is "allowed" in art.
