More good news from Priya!
Please join me in congratulating her in the publication of her book!
Here is a link to the webpage where you can go for more information:
And here is a short text describing the book:
“Priya Wadhera’s Original Copies in Georges Perec and Andy Warhol is
the first book to explore striking similarities between the works of
these celebrated figures of the twentieth century. Copies abound in
Perec’s œuvre, where pastiches, paintings, and intertexts dialogue with
the history of copying in the past and present, in literature and in
art. Both here and in Warhol’s works, the source of the copies is
difficult to pinpoint, shrouded in a fog linked to death. This
remarkable parallel provides insight into their widely-admired works and
a postmodern aesthetic where the original is stripped of its value and
the copy reigns supreme. In this study of the original and the copy,
Wadhera illuminates the nature of art itself.”
Priya what a year! You make us proud!
