ANDY WARHOL - THE COMPLETE TEXTILES AND FASHION

Spanning more than three decades, this book highlights a little-known but influential aspect of Warhol’s creative output: his inventive use of printed fabrics and wearable design. From roller-printed cottons and border patterns in the 1950s to screen-printed garments in the ’70s and ’80s, these works reveal the foundations of his Pop aesthetic—serial imagery, commercial motifs, and a playful engagement with surface and form.

His designs appeared on T-shirts, handkerchiefs, silk scarves, laundry bags, underwear, and jackets—everyday items he purchased off the rack and transformed through image and repetition. These early textile creations also mark a crucial step in his artistic development, serving as the origin of the serialization that would define his entire body of work. Because these designs were never intended for galleries or museums, they remained largely overlooked—until now.
