Andy Warhol Family Album

About the Exhibition

This exhibition centers on Andy Warhol's photography, exploring his creative process and self-expression. Warhol made photography a central tool of his artistic philosophy and exploration of self-image, developing a way of documenting daily life and himself with a Polaroid camera. The exhibition shows many photographs Warhol took with Polaroids and how they shaped the process behind his screen-print portraits. It comprises around 100 photographs and related materials, spotlighting Warhol's artistic exploration and his contribution to contemporary visual culture. His approach of turning his own life into artistic material in particular carries significant meaning in contemporary art history. Visitors can understand Warhol's creative process through his photographic work and the images he took of himself and those around him.
