Andy Warhol: Vanitas is a comprehensive exploration of Warhol's engagement with the vanitas tradition, examining how the Pop Art icon reinterpreted themes of mortality, beauty, and transience. Through stunning reproductions and critical essays, the book reveals how Warhol's work on skulls, flowers, and celebrity connects to centuries-old artistic meditations on death and impermanence. The collection becomes both art historical analysis and meditation on how contemporary art grapples with timeless questions about mortality and meaning.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Warhol understood that Pop Art could be profound, and that celebrity culture is just another way of confronting mortality. This book reminds us that the best contemporary art engages with art history's deepest traditions.
