Big Shots: Andy Warhol Portraits of Celebrities Looks at Seminal Work at Danziger Projects

NEW YORK, NY.- As an iconic member of the pop movement of the 1960’s, Warhol gained fame and recognition for his depiction of recognizable objects and individuals, from brand names products to faces of the rich, famous, and powerful. The exhibition is on display through February 26, 2011 at Danziger Projects. “Big Shots: Andy Warhol Polaroids of Celebrities” provides a look at a lesser-known but seminal body of work by the artist who was dazzled by celebrity and found much of his inspiration in the photographic image. Comprised of thirty-eight unique Polaroids of subjects ranging from Debbie Harry to Yves St. Laurent and Giorgio Armani to Yoko Ono, the pictures were taken between 1970 and 1986 on Warhol’s favorite camera – the Polaroid Big Shot. Created by Polaroid for practical purposes like the quick creation of I.D. cards
