BACKGROUND TO THESE RARE UNIQUE WORKS
In the 1970s, Warhol began using the Polaroid Big Shot for his formal portraiture at his studio, "The Factory,” while also carrying a 35mm camera with him as “his date” to parties and events, documenting his social life and creative process.
All of the collection shown here were taken by Andy Warhol with his 'date'.
Each photograph comes with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and is stamped on the verso by the Estate of the Artist and The Andy Warhol Foundation.
The unique Foundation number is also written on verso.

Hedges Projects Biography
Among the world’s best-known artists, Andy Warhol has proven to be a mainstay of our cultural lexicon for the past 60 years creating iconic Pop Art images as well as indelible celebrity portraits.
Virtually no part of contemporary culture, art and fashion has been untouched by his influence.
Throughout his entire life, Warhol was foremost a photographer. As a child in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he had a dark room in his parents’ home.
Beginning in the 1950s, Warhol used a, heretofore unknown, Polaroid camera to document his movements in New York City’s nightlife.
During the 1960s, Warhol began relying more on the camera, in all its formats, including Times Square photo booths, which show-cased serial repetition of the image, the removal of the artist’s hand, and a reliance on the mechanical and modern.
In the 1970s, Warhol began using the Polaroid Big Shot for his formal portraiture at his studio, "The Factory,” while also carrying a 35mm camera with him as “his date” to parties and events, documenting his social life and creative process.
