Andy Warhol Polaroid Pictures

2 Feb-13 Apr 2019

Overview

BASTIAN is pleased to present Andy Warhol Polaroid Pictures, the inaugural exhibition at the gallery’s London space running 2 February – 13 April 2019. A series of over 60 portrait and self-portrait Polaroid photographs by Andy Warhol - some of which are exhibited for the first time - depict artists, actors, politicians and friends of his eccentric Factory entourage. The exhibition offers an intimate portrayal of New York in the 1970s and 80s during the establishment of a new visual culture. Positioning Warhol as both subject and spectator, the series highlights the artist’s prolific capacity as a chronicler of his time.
