Coffee Table Books Add a Sophisticated Touch

The Andy Warhol Diaries, edited by Pat Hackett
Deemed by The Boston Globe as the “ultimate self portrait”, The Andy Warhol Diaries offers an introspective look into the life of this American icon. Spanning more then a decade of his life, Warhol dictated his life to his dear friend Hackett in an unconventional diary. Learn all about Warhol’s creative experience and what he thought of the who’s who of the ’60s, ’70s and on.

Dance and Photography, by William A. Ewing
With shots of famous dancers from Hollywood’s Golden Age, including Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire, Dance and Photography is the complete look book for anyone who loves dance or is a dancer themselves. From Ballet to Swing to Hip Hop and more, the history of modern dance can be observed through the images provided.

Van Gogh: A Retrospective, by Park Lane
If tortured one-eared painters are your thing, pick up a copy of Van Gogh: A Retrospective. Not only does this book offer images of Van Gogh’s paintings, but using Van Gogh’s letters to family and the words of critics, poets and friends following his death, Lane provides a detailed look into the life of this artist. This retrospective will add color and culture to any bland home.
