Description

The Pop icon Andy Warhol brought his camera with him everywhere—first a Polaroid, and then his 35mm Minox. "Having a few rolls of film to develop gives me a good reason to get up in the morning," he said. Many of Warhol’s photographs can be classified as still lifes, appropriating the aesthetic of commercial advertising. In 1983 he began reproducing his black-and-white images and combining them into grids held together by hand-stitching. Though the photos are identical, Warhol’s repetition and handwork suggest a personal, narrative sequence.
