Описание: Andy Warhols daily practice of photography during the last decade of his life, examined and documented for the first time.
A picture means I know where I was every minute. Thats why I take pictures.
--Andy Warhol
From 1976 until his death in 1987, Andy Warhol was never without his camera. He snapped photos at discos, dinner parties, flea markets, and wrestling matches. Friends, boyfriends, business associates, socialites, celebrities, passers by: all captured Warhols attention--at least for the moment he looked through the lens. In a way, Warhols daily photography practice anticipated our current smart phone habits--our need to record our friends, our families, and our food. Warhol printed only about 17 percent of the 130,000 exposures he left on contact sheets. In 2014, Stanfords Cantor Center for the Arts acquired the 3,600 contact sheets from the Warhol Foundation. This book examines and documents for the first time these contact sheets and photographs--Warhols final body of work
Peggy Phelan and Richard Meyer analyze the contact sheets, never before seen, and their importance in Warhols oeuvre. Accompanying their text and other essays are reproductions of contact sheets, photographs, and other visual material. The contact sheets present Warhols point of view, unedited; we know where he was every minute because a photograph remembers it.
