When you're a famous artist like Andy Warhol, you are usually lucky enough to be introduced to some huge cultural icons. When invited to events and parties, you're not the only one with a famous face to get the nod. The chances are that everyone there is some kind of big-player in their given field. As much a networking event as a social gathering, it's always worth your while making connections and friends.


A lot of people recognise Andy Warhol from his paintings. He helped to bring Pop-Art into the mainstream and ensured that artists in the future would have a reputation for excess even if they don't. Some of the lesser known works by Warhol are his photographs. He took every opportunity to take pictures of the people he met on his agendas and travels. Mainly in the form of Polaroid, a mixture of formats were made. Collectors have eagerly purchased the items over the years and many have never been seen by the public.


Now, in L.A., a show called Andy Warhol: Photo Factory is set to exhibit. Curated by Fotografiska, Hedges Projects, and Jack Shainman Gallery, the show has collected a whole range of images taken by Warhol as famous faces joined him at work. The collection ranges across the artist's career and identifies key aspects in his development and cultural relevance.


Visitors can expect to see images of many heroes including the fabulous Grace Jones, Dolly Parton, and Debbie Harry. He also captured images of other artists such as Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. It's not just people that enchanted his eye, Warhol took images of many things. Some of them we might wonder why, however when considering his artworks, we can see suggestion, shape, and flow that only a true creative would notice first time around.


Andy Warhol: Photo Factory is now open at NeueHouse Hollywood until the end of July. The exhibition is then to display at New York’s Fotografiska during the Autumn 2021, then Stockholm in 2022, and Tallinn, Estonia, in 2023.


Read an interview with Hedges Projects founder James R. Hedges, IV about the exhibition in Dazed.
