Since TASCHEN released The Great American Pin-up, international interest in this distinctly American art form has increased exponentially. Paintings by leading artists such as Alberto Vargas, George Petty, and Gil Elvgren that sold for $ 2,000 in 1996 are going for $ 200,000 and more today. Pin-up—drawings, paintings, and pastels of an idealized female face and figure intended for public display—was produced between 1920 and 1970 for calendars, magazine covers, and centerfolds. The majority of original paintings were discarded by publishers and calendar companies after printing, making the surviving art that much more precious.
This attractively priced edition showcases the top 10 names in the game. Each chapter opens with a reproduction of an original calendar or magazine cover by that artist. The reproduction quality of the paintings, pastels, and preparatory sketches that follow—largely sourced from the original art—invites the viewer to trace the brushstrokes, while the exquisite period calendars, vintage prints, and original model photos document the artists’ creative process. Much of these ephemera were photographed on-site at the historic Brown & Bigelow Company, home to the world’s largest archive of vintage pin-up calendars.

Desde que TASCHEN publicase por primera vez The Great American Pin-up, el interés por una modalidad artística tan intrínsecamente americana ha aumentado de manera exponencial. Las imágenes creadas por artistas destacados como Alberto Vargas, George Petty y Gil Elvgren, que en 1996 podían adquirirse por 2.000 dólares, se venden hoy por un mínimo de 200.000. El arte de las pin-ups (es decir, los dibujos y cuadros de muchachas ligeras, a veces ligerísimas, de ropa) se desarrolló entre las décadas de 1920 y 1970 para su uso en calendarios, portadas y páginas centrales de revistas. Los editores y quienes imprimían los calendarios a menudo se deshacían de los originales una vez publicados, lo cual hace que los que se han conservado sean aún más valiosos.Esta edición presenta a los 10 artistas más importantes del género. Cada capítulo comienza con una exquisita reproducción de un calendario o portada de revista de uno de ellos. La calidad de reproducción de los cuadros, pinturas al pastel y esbozos preliminares (reproducidos en gran parte a partir de los originales) invita al espectador a seguir el rastro de las pinceladas, mientras que las exquisitas reproducciones de calendarios o portadas de época, así como las fotos originales de las modelos, documentan el proceso creativo de los artistas. Muchas de estas piezas efímeras fueron fotografiadas directamente en las instalaciones de la histórica Brown & Bigelow Company, que alberga el mayor archivo de calendarios pin-up de época.
