Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

There is perhaps no artist of the 20th century that is as famous and infamous as Andy Warhol. ; Warhol Giant Size takes its inspiration from the over-the-top quality of Andy Warhol's life, career, and legacy and in a mammoth format and huge extent depicts, in roughly chronological order, the major events, people, works, and moments in the life of an artist who continues to be endlessly fascinating to those inside and outside of the art world.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 610) and index.
