Details

Andy Warhol took scores of Polaroid and black-and-white photographs, the vast majority of which were never seen by the public. These images—of both the notable and not so notable—often served as the basis for his commissioned portraits, silk-screen paintings, drawings, and prints. Uncelebrity explores a flip side of the legacy of “the King of Pop Art,” as captured by the gifts USF Contemporary Art Museum received from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. An important donation of 106 original Polaroid, 50 gelatin silver prints, and 7 out-of-edition prints the artist made between 1970 and 1987, these works provide an eclectic summa of Warhol’s frequently anonymous interests: celebrity snapshots, pictures of the once famous, as well as emulsion or ink on paper likenesses of “limbs,” “streets,” “buildings,” and many of the “unidentified” men and women that populated his daily life. Organized by Christian Viveros-Fauné, USFCAM Curator-at-Large.
