Continuum Publishing

The Continuum Publishing Company commissioned me to design this coffee-table art book, The Religious Art of Andy Warhol. The remarkable book, written by art historian and curator Jane Dillenberger, documents Warhol’s surprising lifelong interest in the Catholic Church as well as his exploration of existential spiritual topics. Included in the book are many of the paintings, drawings, and prints Warhol did based on da Vinci’s Last Supper, as well as examples of his more abstract shadow and skull paintings. We worked closely over several months with both the editors and author on this complex and labor-intensive project. The four-color book includes over 85 images throughout its 130 pages.

“A groundbreaking study of the relationship of Warhol’s religious life to his art and the way in which his art points us to religious meaning.” – Arts

“The most unexpected find of the season is without a doubt Jane Daggett Dillengerger’s The Religious Art of Andy Warhol.” – The Oregonian

“One of the most provocative books of the season explores the private religious life of artist Andy Warhol and its impact on the painter’s prolific output, especially the overtly religious works of his last years.” – Washington Post
