Andy Warhol: Photo Factory Exhibition

Submitted by on Sunday, 10 May 2009No Comment

The incredibly comprehensive survey of Warhol’s photographic oeuvre, Andy Warhol: Photo Factory, opens at Fotografiska New York.

Over 120 images, 20 of which have never been exhibited, pay homage to Warhol’s iconic New York City studio and offer a distinctly intimate visual diary of the artist’s life and work.

Warhol’s earliest photographic works will be presented, offering a glimpse into his experimentation with the medium and how it served as a catalyst for his early silkscreen paintings, commissioned portraits, and commercial work.

The text for Andy Warhol: Photo Factory is authored by curator, writer, and photography critic, Vince Aletti, who shares:

Warhol was as restless as he was relentless and shortly after he took up film, he picked up his own cameras: Polaroids and nifty little point-and-shoots. All of Warhol’s silk-screened and painted portraits, both commissioned and otherwise, were based on his Polaroids. His sitters included an ever-changing pantheon of pop celebrities, from Dolly Parton to Keith Haring, Jane Fonda to Pele, as well as a gaggle of New York drag queens and a host of pretty boys only too happy to take their clothes off for the camera.
