Andy Warhol
American, 1928–1987
c. 1965
A gelatin silver print in a vertical strip of four photobooth-like portraits by Andy Warhol that stages the sitter’s shifting expressions and performative presence.
A tall, narrow band of four close-cropped black-and-white images shows slight changes in gaze, mouth, and hand gestures against a spotted fur, producing a flickering, intimate sense of movement and theatricality.
Dating to Warhol’s mid-1960s photographic experiments, the strip condenses repetition, performance, and the mechanics of image-making into a modest, machine-like format that helped collapse the line between candid snapshot and pop art celebrity portraiture.
