Contact Warhol: Photography Without End
The exhibition brings to life Warhol鈥檚 many interactions with the social and celebrity elite of his time with portraits of stars such as Michael Jackson, Liza Minnelli, and Dolly Parton; younger sensations in the art world such as Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat; and political stars, including Nancy Reagan, Maria Shriver, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Contact Warhol, curated by Stanford Professors Richard Meyer and Peggy Phelan, traces Warhol鈥檚 photography from the most fundamental level of the contact sheet to the most fully developed silkscreen paintings.
