Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Celebrating Time's 75th anniversary, this book presents 75 works of art commissioned for the magazine's cover by some of America's best-known artists, from Andrew Wyeth's portrait of Dwight Eisenhower to Andy Warhol's Michael Jackson. Among the covers featured are Roy Lichtenstein's dynamic 1968 image of Bobby Kennedy, Ben Shahn's Martin Luther King and Gerald Scarfe's papier-mache caricatures of The Beatles. Frederick Voss recounts in detail the history of Time covers, providing a virtual history of the magazine and explaining why appearing on the cover of Time has become, for many, the ultimate accolade.
Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Mar. 20-Aug. 2, 1998.
