Andy Warhol by Christopher Makos is a compelling collection of photographs depicting Ms. Andy Warhol, showing the pop artist as a bi-gendered diva. The photos are black and white, but splashes of colour cut through, bringing this persona further into focus. Warhol sports a variety of wigs of different lengths and colours, which adds to the jumble of characters portrayed. Make-up adds to the feminine allure of an artist who never stopped striking a pose.
