This book was published on the occasion of Cast a Cold Eye: The Late Work of Andy Warhol at Gagosian, 555 West 24th Street and 522 West 21st Street, New York. The extensive exhibition assembled many of Warhol’s most iconic paintings from series of the 1970s and ’80s, including Mao, Skulls, Guns, Knives, Crosses, Shadows, Rorschach, Camouflage, Oxidation, The Last Supper, and Self-Portraits. Many of these late-career works are distinguished by their uncanny prophetism, revealing Warhol as a gimlet-eyed history painter with an inimitably deadpan approach to the intersection of power, belief, money, and mortality.

The catalogue reproduces over one hundred images, including all the works in exhibition as well as numerous archival photographs. It features “Andy Warhol: The Other Eighteen Years,” a commentary by Vincent Fremont, who was a longtime Warhol collaborator and a founding director of the Warhol Foundation; “In Search of Suspended Time,” an essay by art critic, media theorist, and philosopher Boris Groys; and a reprint of William Butler Yeats’s 1933 poem “Under Ben Bulben,” from which the exhibition’s title was derived.
