Discover the mastermind behind Pop Art! 🎉 Andy Warhol (1928-1987) revolutionized art with his mesmerizing paintings, silkscreens, photography, films, and sculptures, capturing the essence of consumer culture and everyday life.

"A is an Alphabet," a rare early book by Warhol and his friend Ralph Thomas Ward was created during the period when Warhol was working as a successful commercial illustrator. Different from Warhol’s later style featuring colors and recognizable American brands, the images in this hand-drawn alphabet are intimate, poetic, and openly homoerotic. 🌈 #newarkpride
