Andy Warhol: Prints, Polaroids, and Photographs from the Collection
Warhol shot his iconic color Polaroids of celebrities and society figures systematically in his studio. After interviewing the sitter, he would place the person in front of a plain white background for multiple photographs in various poses. Sometimes white makeup would be applied to the person’s face to compensate for the effect of the camera’s flash. Ceaselessly egalitarian, Warhol would solicit input from the sitter and whoever else was on hand before selecting the best image to use as the basis for a larger work.
