Scholarly considerations of Andy Warhol abound, including very fine catalogues raisonne, notable biographies, and essays in various exhibition catalogues and anthologies. But nowhere is there an in-depth scholarly examination of Warhol s oeuvre as a whole until now. Jonathan Flatley s Like Andy Warhol is a revelatory look at the artist s likeness-producing practices, not only reflected in his famous Campbell s soup cans and Marilyn Monroe silkscreens, but across Warhol s whole range of interests including movies, drag queens, boredom, and his sprawling collections. Flatley shows us that Warhol s art is an illustration of the artist s own talent for "liking." He argues that there is in Warhol s productions a utopian impulse, an attempt to imagine new, queer forms of emotional attachment and affiliation, and to transform the world into a place where these forms find a new home. Like Andy Warhol is not just the best full-length critical study of Warhol in print, it is also an instant classic of queer theory.
