Andy Warhol and the Can That Sold the World
by Gary IndianaIn the summer of 1962, Andy Warhol unveiled 32 Soup Cans in his first solo exhibition at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles-and sent the art world reeling. The responses ran from incredulity to outrage; the poet Taylor Mead described the exhibition as "a brilliant slap in the face to America. ” The exhibition put Warhol on the map-and transformed American culture forever. Almost single-handedly, Warhol collapsed the centuries-old distinction between "high” and "low” culture, and created a new and radically modern aesthetic. InAndy Warhol and the Can that Sold the World, the dazzlingly versatile critic Gary Indiana tells the story of the genesis and impact of this iconic work of art. With energy, wit, and tremendous perspicacity, Indiana recovers the exhilaration and controversy of the Pop Art Revolution and the brilliant, tormented, and profoundly narcissistic figure at its vanguard.
Andy Warhol's Factory People: Welcome to the Silver Factory, Speeding into the Future, and Your Fifteen Minutes Are Up (Andy Warhol's Factory People #2)
by Catherine O'Sullivan ShorrBased on the television documentary: A three-part oral history of the Pop Art sensation&’s inner circle and their dazzling world of art, drugs, and drama. Featuring a new introduction by the author, special to this collection, this three-part companion volume to Emmy Award–winning Catherine O&’Sullivan Shorr&’s documentary Andy Warhol&’s Factory People is an unprecedented exposé of an exhilarating and tumultuous time in the 1960s New York City art world—told by the artists, actors, writers, musicians, and hangers-on who populated and defined the Factory. &“Different [in] its avowed bottom-up approach: Warhol as a function of his followers is the idea. This time . . . it&’s the interviews that tell the tale&” (Robert Lloyd, Los Angeles Times). Welcome to the Silver Factory: In 1962, frustrated with advertising work, Warhol sets up his legendary studio in an abandoned hat factory on Manhattan&’s 47th Street. The &“Silver Factory&” quickly becomes the hub of Warhol&’s creative endeavors—the space where he constantly works while an ever-changing cast of characters and muses passes through with their own contributions. Speeding into the Future: In a peak period from 1965 through 1966, Warhol creates the notion of the &“It Girl&” with ingenuous debutante Edie Sedgwick; discovers Lou Reed, the Velvet Underground, and Nico, the gorgeous chanteuse who becomes his next &“It Girl&”; and directs—with Paul Morrissey—his most commercially successful film, the art house classic, Chelsea Girls. Your Fifteen Minutes Are Up: By 1967, it seems that the Factory has outlived its fifteen minutes of fame. Superstars like Edie Sedgwick fall victim to drugs. Factory denizens have falling-outs with Warhol, as do the Velvet Underground, who are also caught up in disputes of their own. Into the chaos comes radical feminist Valerie Solanas, who shoots Warhol and seriously injures him. He survives—barely—but the artist, and his art, are forever changed.
Andy Warhol, Publisher
by Lucy MulroneyAlthough we know him best as a visual artist and filmmaker, Andy Warhol was also a publisher. Distributing his own books and magazines, as well as contributing to those of others, Warhol found publishing to be one of his greatest pleasures, largely because of its cooperative and social nature. Journeying from the 1950s, when Warhol was starting to make his way through the New York advertising world, through the height of his career in the 1960s, to the last years of his life in the 1980s, Andy Warhol, Publisher unearths fresh archival material that reveals Warhol’s publications as complex projects involving a tantalizing cast of collaborators, shifting technologies, and a wide array of fervent readers. Lucy Mulroney shows that whether Warhol was creating children’s books, his infamous “boy book” for gay readers, writing works for established houses like Grove Press and Random House, helping found Interview magazine, or compiling a compendium of photography that he worked on to his death, he readily used the elements of publishing to further and disseminate his art. Warhol not only highlighted the impressive variety in our printed culture but also demonstrated how publishing can cement an artistic legacy.

Andy Warhol: A Biography (LIVES #2)
by Wayne Koestenbaum'Properly analytical ... always entertaining' TIME OUT'Should tempt both those generally familiar with Andy Warhol and, even more, young people who have trouble imagining how popular art can challenge the status quo' L A TIMESPainter, filmmaker, photographer, philosopher, all-round celebrity, Andy Warhol is an outstanding cultural icon. He revolutionised art by bringing to it images from popular culture - such as the Campbell's soup can and Marilyn Monroe's face - while his studio, the Factory, where his free-spirited cast of 'superstars' mingled with the rich and famous, became the place of origin for every groundswell shaping American culture.In many ways he can be seen as the precursor to today's 'celebrity artists' such as Tracey Emin and Damian Hurst. But what of the man behind the white wig and dark glasses? Koestenbaum gives a fascinating, revealing and thought-provoking picture of pop art's greatest icon.
Andy Warhol: A Biography (Lives Ser.)
by Wayne KoestenbaumAn intimate depiction of the visionary who revolutionized the art world A man who created portraits of the rich and powerful, Andy Warhol was one of the most incendiary figures in American culture, a celebrity whose star shone as brightly as those of the Marilyns and Jackies whose likenesses brought him renown. Images of his silvery wig and glasses are as famous as his renderings of soup cans and Brillo boxes—controversial works that elevated commerce to high art. Warhol was an enigma: a partygoer who lived with his mother, an inarticulate man who was a great aphorist, an artist whose body of work sizzles with sexuality but who considered his own body to be a source of shame. In critic and poet Wayne Koestenbaum&’s dazzling look at Warhol&’s life, the author inspects the roots of Warhol&’s aesthetic vision, including the pain that informs his greatness, and reveals the hidden sublimity of Warhol&’s provocative films. By looking at many facets of the artist&’s oeuvre—films, paintings, books, &“Happenings&”—Koestenbaum delivers a thought-provoking picture of pop art&’s greatest icon.

A leader of the American art movement known as Pop, short for "popular culture," Warhol changed the way we think of art.

Andy Warhol: Prince of Pop
by Jan Greenberg Sandra JordanThe Campbell’s Soup Cans. The Marilyns. The Electric Chairs. The Flowers. The work created by Andy Warhol elevated everyday images to art, ensuring Warhol a fame that has far outlasted the 15 minutes he predicted for everyone else. His very name is synonymous with the 1960s American art movement known as Pop. But Warhol’s oeuvre was the sum of many parts. He not only produced iconic art that blended high and popular culture; he also made controversial films, starring his entourage of the beautiful and outrageous; he launched Interview, a slick magazine that continues to sell today; and he reveled in leading the vanguard of New York’s hipster lifestyle. The Factory, Warhol’s studio and den of social happenings, was the place to be. Who would have predicted that this eccentric boy, the Pittsburgh-bred son of Eastern European immigrants, would catapult himself into media superstardom? Warhol’s rise, from poverty to wealth, from obscurity to status as a Pop icon, is an absorbing tale—one in which the American dream of fame and fortune is played out in all of its success and its excess. No artist of the late 20th century took the pulse of his time—and ours—better than Andy Warhol.

Andy and Don: The Making of a Friendship and a Classic American
by Daniel De ViséA lively and revealing biography of Andy Griffith and Don Knotts, celebrating the powerful real-life friendship behind one of America's most iconic television programs.Andy Griffith and Don Knotts met on Broadway in the 1950s. When Andy went to Hollywood to film a TV pilot about a small-town sheriff, Don called to ask if the sheriff could use a deputy. The comedic synergy between Sheriff Andy Taylor and Deputy Barney Fife ignited The Andy Griffith Show, elevating a folksy sitcom into a timeless study of human friendship, as potent off the screen as on. Andy and Don--fellow Southerners born into poverty and raised among scofflaws, bullies, and drunks--captured the hearts of Americans across the country as they rocked lazily on the front porch, meditating about the simple pleasure of a bottle of pop. But behind this sleepy, small-town charm, de Visé's exclusive reporting reveals explosions of violent temper, bouts of crippling neurosis, and all-too-human struggles with the temptations of fame. Andy and Don chronicles unspoken rivalries, passionate affairs, unrequited loves, and friendships lost and regained. Although Andy and Don ended their Mayberry partnership in 1965, they remained best friends for the next half-century, with Andy visiting Don at his death bed. Written by Don Knotts's brother-in-law and featuring extensive unpublished interviews with those closest to both men, Andy and Don is the definitive literary work on the legacy of The Andy Griffith Show and a provocative and an entertaining read about two of America's most enduring stars.

Anecdotes of Enlightenment: Human Nature from Locke to Wordsworth
by James Robert WoodAnecdotes of Enlightenment is the first literary history of the anecdote in English. In this wide-ranging account, James Robert Wood explores the animating effects anecdotes had on intellectual and literary cultures over the long eighteenth century. Drawing on extensive archival research and emphasizing the anecdote as a way of thinking, he shows that an intimate relationship developed between the anecdote and the Enlightenment concept of human nature. Anecdotes drew attention to odd phenomena on the peripheries of human life and human history. Enlightenment writers developed new and often contentious ideas of human nature through their efforts to explain these anomalies. They challenged each other’s ideas by reinterpreting each other’s anecdotes and by telling new anecdotes in turn.Anecdotes of Enlightenment features careful readings of the philosophy of John Locke and David Hume; the periodical essays of Joseph Addison, Richard Steele, and Eliza Haywood; the travel narratives of Joseph Banks, James Cook, and James Boswell; the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth; and Laurence Sterne’s Tristram Shandy. Written in an engaging style and spotlighting the eccentric aspects of Enlightenment thought, this fascinating book will appeal to historians, philosophers, and literary critics interested in the intellectual culture of the long eighteenth century.
Anecdotes of Great Musicians: Three Hundred Anecdotes and Biographical Sketches of Famous Composers and Performers
by W. Francis GatesThis book, which was first published in 1895, is a wonderful collection of some 300 anecdotes and biographical sketches of famous composers and performers since time began.In the author’s own words, “[I]n the search for what this volume comprises, much material has been examined. I have attempted to cull from the mass of material that came to my notice such anecdotes as have two features,—that of being characteristic of the person referred to, and that of possessing sufficient interest; and in this re-narration I have incorporated such bits of musical information, along biographical and historical lines, as came to mind at the time of writing, but letting this feature be secondary to the main idea of the work. Thus it is hoped that while my readers may find interesting anecdote, they may also incidentally find that which is of more permanent value.”Gates’ work may be regarded as a companion volume to his book Musical Mosaics (1889), “supplementing the thoughts of the great musicians there expressed with incidents giving somewhat of a clue to their personality.”

Anerkennungsverhältnisse in der Schule: Empirische Untersuchungen im Kontext der Auffangzeit im Schweizer Kindergarten (Kinder, Kindheiten und Kindheitsforschung #33)
by Sabina StaubIn diesem Open-Access-Buch werden rekonstruierbare Normen zur Diskussion gestellt, innerhalb derer Kinder zu Kindergarten- und Schulkindern werden und die in der Regel nicht reflexiv zugänglich sind. Um herauszufinden, welche Anerkennungsverhältnisse sich zwischen Lehrpersonen und Kindern im Kindergarten manifestieren, wurden videografierte Interaktionen während der sogenannten Auffangzeit und Interviews mit Kindergartenlehrpersonen mit der dokumentarischen Methode analysiert. Die Analysen ergeben, dass in diverse Praktiken der Lehrpersonen eine generationale Ordnung hergestellt wird und dass der Entwicklungsstand der Kinder und das Bild der Kindergartenkinder als zukünftige Erwachsene die Anerkennungsverhältnisse bestimmen. Durch den Vergleich von zwei Lehrpersonen kann aufgezeigt werden, dass bei der Begrüßung der Kinder die Norm der ordnungsgemäßen Durchführung von Aufträgen betont und aktualisiert wird. Die Kinder werden als unterstützungsbedürftige Interaktionsteilnehmende adressiert. Während der normative Horizont in einem der beiden Kindergärten anschließend zum aktiven und gestaltenden Umgang mit dem vorbereiteten Spiel- und Lernangebot wechselt und die Kinder als kompetente Mitgestaltende adressiert werden, verändert sich bei der anderen Lehrperson die vorherrschende Norm nicht.
Anestesia
by Viveka RedmondTendría mucho que decirte, pero no quiero hacerlo con tinta y pluma. Espero verte pronto y hablar cara a cara. Anestesiarnos. Quedarnos dormidos hasta que la herida se haya cerrado por completo. Hasta que deje de doler. Y si lo aplicamos al cuerpo, ¿cómo no tratar de hacer lo propio con el alma cuando la vida nos pone a prueba? Colocamos parches encima de cada roto. Hacemos remiendos con agujas sin hilo. Cualquier alternativa antes que encarar nuestra debilidad. Antes que mirarla a los ojos. Anestesia es un canto a la esperanza frente a las dificultades, entonado en clave de amor verdadero. Ese que pasamos toda la vida buscando. Ese que nos da fuerza. El que lleva la paz a la confusión. El que da sentido a todo. A pesar de todo. Un viaje a través de los sentimientos fundamentado sobre la fuerza del perdón, que refleja determinadas alternativas con las que, en ocasiones, tratamos de enfrentar e incluso evitarel sufrimiento.

Anesthesia Management for Electroconvulsive Therapy: Practical Techniques and Physiological Background
by Shigeru SaitoIn this book, recognized anesthesiology experts present the latest findings on anesthesia for electro-convulsive therapy (ECT). With the development of modified electroconvulsive therapy (m-ECT) and devices to provide brief-pulse stimulation, ECT is currently being re-evaluated as an important procedure in psychiatric disorder therapy and is increasingly being used worldwide to treat several psychiatric conditions. This trend is due to the social phenomenon of the growing number of patients for whom ECT is applicable. Since the new approach is more safe and effective than the original method without anesthesia, m-ECT is currently applied under general anesthesia in most advanced countries. This book provides an overview and practice of total anesthesia management in the perioperative period of ECT. It offers an indispensable resource not only for professional anesthesiologists but also healthcare professionals who use this therapy.
