Woodbury House is hosting “The Lost Archive of Andy Warhol,” an eagerly-awaited solo exhibition by William John Kennedy that features thirty rediscovered signed photographs of iconic artist Andy Warhol, taken in the early 1960s.
The new exhibition sheds light on the iconic figure of Andy Warhol himself, rather than focusing only on his work, and includes a rediscovered collection of signed photographs taken by acclaimed photographer William John Kennedy in the early 1960s. The images not only capture the essence of the art icon, they offer insight into Warhol's world and celebrate his connections with artists like Robert Indiana.
“The Lost Archive of Andy Warhol” consists of thirty of these photographs, some never seen before, and was born out of an unexpected moment. In 2006, the release of a large-format book on Andy Warhol featured a photograph captured by William John Kennedy and erroneously credited to another photographer. The revelation prompted Kennedy to revisit a forgotten chapter of his own legacy, delve into his archives, and unearth long-forgotten treasures. These include the moment Warhol pulled out the acetate of his iconic image of Marylin Monroe, one of the most expensive pieces of art ever sold.
This exclusive exhibition will be hosted by Woodbury House from 29 February to 21 March. The private art gallery is normally open by appointment only, but on 9 March, they'll be holding an open gallery event from noon to 8pm, letting visitors explore Kennedy's works at their leisure.
