Tomorrow's the last day to visit Andy Warhol's Black on White in Paris. During the Sixties, Andy Warhol made a rare documentation of subjects in time with his photobooth portraits. These photobooth strips, no matter how much they are readymades, mark the first instance of Warhol making multiples using a strictly photographic medium, that is, the gelatin silver print.
From 1982 to 1987, Andy Warhol made 503 works composed of black-and-white photographic prints stitched together with thread. These works are indebted to his earlier repetitive silkscreen paintings and are also the result of lifelong photographic exploration and a prolific decade. If you're a fan of Warhol and photobooths (we are! we are!) you must visit.
Till tomorrow on show at Sage Paris.
