After our last post, I thought it might be nice to go through the archives and find some other Warhol cover art. The first few he did are quite strong, but as the 60s/70s turned into the Wall Street 80s, Warhol’s work (and his subjects) got progressively more tasteless (in an aesthetic sense) and, sad to say, nakedly for-profit. Though some will argue forever that that was his whole point. (He once said: “Making money is art, and working is art and good business is the best art.”)
Here they are:
This is John Wallowitch!!! – John Wallowitch
Sticky Fingers – The Rolling Stones
Love You Live – The Rolling Stones
Silk Electric – Diana Ross
Aretha – Aretha Franklin
