In Like Andy Warhol, Jonathan Flatley argues that Warhol's enormous and diverse body of work can be understood as part of one ambitious, ongoing project: "liking things." Instead of the cynical affirmation of consumer society that some see in Warhol's art Flatley finds in Warhol's promiscuous liking a utopian impulse, an effort to imagine and create new, queer forms of emotional attachment based on likeness and liking. He shows us how Warhol pursues this project of maximized liking through a wide-ranging production and proliferation of likenesses not only in his silkscreens of Marilyn Monroe and Campbell's soup but also in his films, energetic collecting practices, and mechanical imitations. Pushing against current trends of division, depression, and withdrawal, Flatley illuminates how Warhol's efforts to expand our capacities for liking and being alike are more relevant than ever.
