Summary:
"Andy Warhol's 1986 print portfolio Cowboys and Indians represents an important milestone in both the artist's late career and a shift in the conception of contemporary western American art. One of the last major projects he completed prior to his death, Cowboys and Indians received very little critical or public attention at the time of its release and remains one of the most under-studied aspects of the artist's career. This publication will explore, in-depth, for the first time, the range of western imagery he produced"-- Provided by publisher.
