This book tells the story of Warhol’s polaroid portraits of queens and transvestites. Warhol had a strong fascination for both the royal and the lavish feminine expression of transvestites. The book shows a number of polaroid portraits, including a series of “drag” self portraits. All polaroids in the book are treated with UV lacquer; in addition, a shadow is added to highlight the object’s physical aspect. This can also be seen on the cover. The use of gold represents the artist’s fascination with the glamorous appearance of the portrayed. All text is printed in Pantone 871C.
