Taschen's reissue of seven of Andy Warhol’s 1950s hand-drawn books, created before his rise to fame, presents a series of meticulous reprints in an XL-sized volume. Originally created to entice new clients when Warhol was working as a successful commercial artist, the handmade books featured unique drawings and texts across a range of themes that included cats, food, myths, shoes, beautiful boys, and gorgeous girls. It's all presented here in a fun and engaging mix of styles and genres that come to life in hand drawn works like Bottom of My Garden —simultaneously a Warhol twist on a children’s book and a celebration of gay love —and Wild Raspberries, a spoof cookbook featuring adventurous recipes and illustrations. Joined by rarely seen photographs of the artist, inspirational ephemera, and commercial assignments, this book is at once a glimpse into the early creative process of a pop culture icon and a throwback to the halcyon days of the 1950s.
