Event Detail
Andy Warhol Polaroids and B&W Prints
ThroughArt Parkway District
PAFA will exhibit Polaroid and black and white photographic prints by Warhol donated by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts to PAFA – one of 183 institutions designated in 2008 to receive portions of Warhol's artistic legacy as part of the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program, honoring the Foundation's 20th anniversary.
These photographs came from a period of Warhol's life when he was involved in more explicitly commercial enterprises, from magazine publishing to producing television shows and music videos. Warhol used black & white photographs as a visual diary to document people, places, and events in his everyday life. The Polaroid portraits served as studies from which he also developed his more prominent paintings and silkscreen works.
