The ‘Andy Warhol Still-Life Polaroids’ exhibition at the Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York hosts a great selection of 70 Polaroid pictures taken by the iconic Andy Warhol between 1977 and 1983.
The Polaroids feature a wide array of objects and ordinary things such as shoes, eggs, bananas, and knives. Warhol takes these ordinary objects and transforms them into extraordinary art.
The exhibition runs through January 10, 2009, so Andy Warhol fans who will be in NYC during this time had better rush.
