Harry Benson
Andy & Bianca, The Factory, New York

1977

About the Item

Edition of 35 Harry Benson first met Andy Warhol when he came to New York with the Beatles, and photographed the legendary artist from the 1960s through the 1980’s. He was invited by Bianca Jagger—then wife of Mick Jagger—to have lunch at The Factory, Warhol’s studio, and they were then joined by fellow artists Jamie Wyeth and Larry Rivers. Warhol was snapping photographs that day as well, for his magazine, Interview, and as we see in this shot, Benson has captured Andy taking a photograph of Bianca and himself. This unique composition includes two frames, one with Andy in focus and the second focused on Bianca. As in many of Benson's photographs, this piece has a harmonious balance of light and dark. As a photojournalist Benson not only endeavors to be in the right place at the right time, but he also has a natural talent for capturing the beauty of a spontaneous moment.
