The
Andy Warhol Photo Booth Strip is an example
of the Artist's earliest Photography, a medium that increasingly
dominated Andy Warhol's Art, often a prerequisite
to the creation of his important Portrait Paintings. During
the early 60's the Artist created a large body of Silver
Gelatin Photobooth Strips.
The
Photo Booth represented a quintessentially modern intersection
of mass entertainment and private self-contemplation. In Andy
Warhol's Photo Booth Strips, the Sitter could easily
adopt a succession of different roles, each captured in a
single frame; the resulting strip of four poses resembled
a snippet of film footage.
In
this Unique Silver Gelatin Photobooth Strip
titled Andy Warhol, Philip Fagan and Gerard Malanga,
1964, Warhol poses with his then
boyfriend Phillip Fagan and Gerard
Malanga, his longtime business manager. Wearing sunglasses,
Warhol takes on the person of a Movie Star,
and now with time, is the seen as the ultimate 20th Century
Art icon.
