Andy Warhol's Photographic Velocity

More than any other artist of his time, Andy Warhol documented the changing tempos of our culture: Remember everyone’s 15 minutes of fame? Stanford University has recently acquired the Warhol estate's photographic contact sheets and negatives, a treasure trove documenting his day-to-day life and artistic practice between 1976-1987. In Warhol’s rapid-fire technique, Stanford scholars Peggy Phelan and Richard Meyer find a commitment to photography as a medium of the future rather than a record of the past.

The annual Richard Gray Visual Art Series recognizes a significant gift from founding CHF board member and distinguished art dealer Richard Gray. This program is presented in partnership with the Stanford Humanities Center.
