This thoroughly revised and expanded third edition of Andy Warhol Prints: A Catalogue Raisonne 1962-1987 traces Warhol's complete graphic oeuvre from the first unique works on paper in 1962 through his final published portfolio in 1987. More than 1,100 works are illustrated, and complete documentation is provided for each. Among these are 650 unique edition prints, trial proof edition prints, and unpublished prints that Warhol created for personal projects and on commission, all works which were not included in the earlier editions of this catalogue. The illustrations and technical data are complemented by two essays that explore Warhol's graphic production from different perspectives.

The state of the art

The first ever collection of Iain Banks’s short fiction, this volume includes the acclaimed novella, The State of the Art. This is a striking addition to the growing body of Culture lore, and adds definition and scale to the previous works by using the Earth of 1977 as contrast. The other stories in the collection range from science fiction to horror, dark-coated fantasy to morality tale.

Unnatural wonders

"Arthur C. Danto's five volumes of review essays form a chronicle of the art world in our time, and a running appraisal of the great variety of significant work made in our midst." "In this new book, Danto shows how work that bridges the gap between art and life is now the definitive work of our time: Damien Hirst's arrays of skeletons and anatomical models, Barbara Kruger's tchotchke-ready slogans, Renee Cox's nude portrait of herself presiding at the Last Supper. To the obvious question - is this stuff really art? - Danto replies with an enthusiastic yes, explaining, with a philosopher's clarity and an art lover's delight, how these "unnatural wonders" show us who we are."--Jacket.

The body/body problem

The essays in The Body/Body Problem, spanning more than twenty-five years, highlight the inseparability of philosophy and art in Arthur C. Danto's work. Here Danto explores the traditional philosophical question of how, as creatures with minds and bodies, we represent - and misrepresent - actual and possible worlds. Addressing philosophical questions of mental representation, Danto presents his distinctive approach to some of the most enduring topics in philosophy.
