Note:
Complete and in full Written contributions by Jonas Mekas and Calvin Tomkins John Rivers Coplans (June 24, 1920 – August 21, 2003) was a British artist, art writer, curator, and museum director. A veteran of World War II and a photographer, he emigrated to the United States in 1960 and had many exhibitions in Europe and North America. He was on the founding editorial staff of Artforum from 1962 to 1971, and was Editor-in-Chief from 1972 to 1977. In the preface, Coplans explains the purpose of this interesting volume: "The book sets out to provide the reader through the accompanying illustrations a viewing of a broad spectrum of Warhol's painting and sculpture, especially from 1960 to 1964, by which time the artist had already begun to shift his interest to movie. The essays by the various authors have been chosen to cover three principal but divergent aspects of Warhol, each of which has equally caught the public's imagination—the man, the art and the movies."
