Description
"Andy Warhol Polaroids [1971–1986]". Published by Pace/Macgill Gallery. Book in English.
The ambivalent emotional tone of Warhol’s work is particularly evident in this ‘album’ of his Polaroid portraits of celebrities. “Like one of his silkscreen portraits, a Warhol Polaroid both glorifies and devalues its subject, whose individual ego becomes the vanishing point of a fabricated image of celebrity. In addition to Warhol’s pantheon of stars from the 1970s and 1980s – Liza Minnelli, Muhammad Ali, Truman Capote, Diana Vreeland and Howdy Doody – the collection includes self-portraits of Warhol in drag, in which, despite all our efforts to pin him down, he remains, ultimately, inscrutable.
In mint condition.
