PAST EXHIBITION
Andy Warhol Photographs
May 3, 2008—August 1, 2008
Press Release
Andy Warhol’s art was totally photo-based, whether he was using
pictures from newspapers or ones he snapped himself in black and white
or with a Polaroid camera. One hundred and sixty of both kinds of his
images have been given to the Kresge Art Museum by the Andy Warhol
Foundation for the Visual Arts' Photographic Legacy Program. These
photographs are on view through the summer.
Since Warhol would often shoot a subject with both cameras, cropping
one with the Polaroid as a "photograph" and taking the other as a
B&W "picture," this donation offers a unique opportunity to see his
process and his interactions with his sitters. As we gain perspective
on the 20th century, Andy Warhol's seminal role becomes more and more
evident. |
