FROM OPERA TO JAZZ

But who knew that Warhol, the pioneer of Pop Art, drew more than 50 album covers over the span of his career — and not just for rock, but for classical music, opera and jazz? These works are the subject of a lavishly illustrated, fastidiously documented book, “Andy Warhol: The Record Covers, 1949-1987,” published jointly by Prestel and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. The author, Paul Maréchal, is curator of the art collection at the Power Corporation of Canada, which consists mainly of French decorative art of the 18th and 19th centuries.
