Andy Warhol’s New York City: Five Walks, Uptown to Downtown by Thomas Kiedrowski and Vito Giallo

Posted on | Leave a comment

Warhol

Not our average art or travel book, Andy Warhol's New York City: Five Walks, Uptown to Downtown by Thomas Kiedrowski and Vito Giallo combines the two for something just a little bit different.

It's all about Warhol's New York, where he lived, where he worked and where he was forever associated with from the 50s to the 80s. 80 sites in total, all with background stories about the art, the movies and the fashion. There's even listings for Warhol's residences, favourite restaurants and factories, as well as iconic locations no longer around to see.

Enhanced with 12 original drawings by artist Vito Giallo, a former studio assistant of Warhol's, the 144-page book is available for pre-order now, priced at £8.99.

Golden Lane II print by Stefi Orazi

GoldenlaneestateII

In celebration of the fifth birthday of Things You Can Buy, Stefi Orazi has produced a new print – Golden Lane II.

Orazi has paid a visit to this 1950s-designed housing estate a number of times, not least in the four different designs she produced for the card set. It's no wonder, as the coloured panels of the maisonette frontage work really well in the piece, contrasting with the strict lines of the architecture. 

This print is limited to an edition of 100 and the print costs £110.

He's perhaps best known as a printer, working with the likes of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, David Hockney and Keith Haring in the past. But Richard Duardo is also an artist in his own right – and this Marilyn limited edition silkscreen print is one of his pieces.

The work of the 'West-Coast Warhol' (as he's known) are colourful pop art-style prints of pop culture icons – and they don't get much more iconic than Marilyn Monroe. The print is from a signed limited edition of 100, sized at 37x 24 inches, available framed or unframed.

If you want the unframed version, it sells for £320.

Music-business-canvas-print-by-dale-edwin-murray-5789-p
A striking piece of music-inspired art with this Music Business canvas print by Dale Edwin Murray.

The piece by this London-based illustrator has a clear 60s influence – it depicts the sleeve of a sharply suited man merging into the form of a vinyl record. The design is printed onto canvas which makes it even more of a statement piece – and no need to bother about framing either. 

The canvas is limited to 250 copies and costs £99.
