Warhol: 15 min/24 fps
I feel I’m very much part of my times, of my culture, as much a part of it as rockets and television. — Andy Warhol (1)
His famous edict that everyone would enjoy fifteen minutes of fame in their lifetime is a testament to his investment in looking, and his prodigious output of Polaroids, black-and-white photographs, and screenprints is his legacy. On exhibition was a selection from a portfolio of 102 Polacolor Polaroids produced by Andy Warhol from 1974 through 1985, from the UAM’s new acquisition gifted by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts; the Silver Clouds installation; and screenprints from the "Suite of Athletes" series on loan from the Hammer Museum; and private donors, including The Witch, 1981.
