Andy Warhol American
Not on view
Warhol turned the photo-booth picture--with its apparent artlessness, serial format, and connection to popular culture--into a locus for Pop Art ideas. In this particular strip, rather than presenting four similar shots of the sitter's face (typically hamming for the camera), the identity of the subject is tauntingly withheld. The low-voltage homoerotic charge in the work, appropriate to the Warhol circle, is relayed through the obscured face, the centered torso, and the "tough-guy" pose. This work is a tone poem of sixties countercultural impulses.
