Andy Warhol: Little Red Book
Feb 09, 2022 - May 15, 2022
Andy Warhol (American, 1928-1987), the groundbreaking icon of Pop Art, challenged preconceived notions about art with his paintings, prints, and sculptures of celebrities and consumer products that blurred the lines between art and popular culture. Photography was central to Warhol’s process and formed the source material for much of his work. He adopted Polaroid photography in the 1950s when the technology was just emerging, creating over 40,000 of them in his lifetime. Throughout the 1970s, Warhol used Polaroid images as the basis for his portraits of celebrities, as the bright exposure of the image translated well to his signature high-contrast screenprints. He meticulously arranged a small fraction of these photographs into pocket-sized, red Holson Polaroid albums—his Little Red Books. This exhibition features all twenty Polaroids from Warhol's 1972 'Little Red Book #114'.
