Books Worth Reading - KAWS X WARHOL

As celebrated artists that draw from popular culture, KAWS and Andy Warhol are known for creating art that is approachable beyond the confines of the traditional art world. While at first glance, both artists’ works often appear celebratory and joyful, they share a number of dark common threads beneath the surface: tragedy as spectacle and meditations on death and dying. When these two bold bodies of work are juxtaposed, that connection is made explicit and powerful. This book highlights the artistic intersection of KAWS and Warhol, featuring their takes on death and disaster, advertising, nostalgia, abstraction, skulls, and self-portraiture.

Born on this day eighty years ago: the ethereally beautiful, hauntingly memorable and funny transgender Warhol Superstar dubbed “a subculture Lana Turner” by the Village Voice’s Arthur Bell and the world’s biggest Kim Novak fan - Miss Candy Darling (24 November 1944 - 21 March 1974)! (Yes, the Candy “from out on the Island” immortalized in the 1972 Lou Reed song “Walk on the Wild Side”). I particularly love Darling’s delicate performances in the Warhol-produced, Paul Morrissey-directed Flesh (1968) and The Death of Maria Malibran (1972) by Werner Schroeter. For anyone interested in Darling’s brief, tumultuous life (she died aged 29 of cancer), reading Cynthia Carr’s exemplary recent biography Candy Darling: Dreamer, Icon, Superstar is a must. My favourite anecdote from the book (much of it is heartbreaking, to be honest): when a cinema in Toronto wanted to present their 1971 film Women in Revolt, Andy Warhol dispatched Darling to promote it. The theatre booked Darling into the posh four-star Sutton Place hotel (“where stars like Elizabeth Taylor stayed when in town for the Toronto Film Festival”). Darling and her friend immediately started charging wine and expensive meals to the room. Liberace happened to be staying there at the same time. Candy crashed his glitzy private rooftop champagne reception: “She kept trying to approach him, while he kept trying to avoid her. Finally, she managed to corner him and said, “We have so much in common.” Liberace was horrified and complained to hotel management” – and Candy was evicted!
