CURRENT EXHIBITION

Andy Warhol Photographs

September 13, 2008—October 18, 2008

From 1970 through 1987, Andy Warhol took scores of Polaroid and black-and-white photographs, the vast majority of which were never seen by the public. These images often served as the basis for his commissioned portraits, silk-screen paintings, drawings, and prints. In 2007, to commemorate its twentieth anniversary, the Warhol Foundation launched the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program. Designed to give a broad public greater access to Warhol's photographs, the program donated Warhol's original Polaroids and gelatin silver prints to museums across the country, including 149 to the UH University Art Collection. Andy Warhol's photographs at Blaffer Gallery will showcase the outstanding group of photographs that the university has added to their collection and will contextualize the images within Andy Warhol's artistic practice and tell the stories behind the captivating pictures.
