Spiritual subjects such as impermanence and time are explored through multimedia art and archival material from Warhol's largest collecting project, \u003ci\u003eTime Capsules\u003c\/i\u003e, in which he saved source materials for his work and ephemera from his life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVanitas\u003c\/i\u003e places these works in dialogue with 17th-century Dutch genre engravings from the Rijksmuseum. These allegorical prints serve to remind viewers not only of their mortality, but of their obligation to live a humble existence. With a shining gold cover--featuring Warhol with a skull laughing on his shoulder--this publication plays upon the paradoxes inherent in Warhol's hedonistic life, his fascination with death and his unwavering Catholic faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.71 x 8.82 x 6.38 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 11, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53574722453811,"sku":"9789462088771","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Cxlz2D59my9789462088771.webp?v=1782768806","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/andy-warhol-vanitas-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
