About the Item

The ‘Andy Warhol with Campbell’s Soup Can’ was shot in 1985 by photographer Andrew Unangst. This spectacular image of Warhol is one of the very last taken and part of an exclusive edition of prints released in 2017 as the photos had been in Unangst's personal collection of work for over 25 years. This archival photographic print is one of only 24 in existence. The piece comes custom framed with museum caliber non-glare glass and a poppy red matte finish. The custom framed measurements are: 35 x 37.5 x 2.25 in. / 88.9 x 95.25 x 5.7 cm. In 1985, Unangst had the opportunity to photograph Andy Warhol for a campaign with Vidal Sassoon. The commercial setting evolved into a formal portraiture session, and the result of that surreal shooting is one of the most iconic images of Warhol. Together with the portraits by Mapplethorpe and Avedon it occupies a primary place in the triad of pictures that contributed to our perception of the artist. The portrait is included in the permanent collection of the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburg and in the International Center of Photography (ICP), as well as in many important private collections across the world. The gestation of the picture made of experimentation and many attempts by Unangst, he worked on the photograph for more than a decade, finally achieving a satisfactory quality. This is, perhaps, one of the main reasons why the portrait was publicly exhibited only in recent years. The infinite transformations of this photograph did not end with its exposure. In the last two years, the traditional silver gelatin of the first editions was substituted with an innovative technique that utilizes incredibly durable ink and allows a better tonal rendering of the image. The ‘Portrait of Andy Warhol in Black and White’ comes with the Arton seal of approval for authenticity, quality, and exquisite condition. Arton Contemporary is a gallery located on Madison Avenue, specializing in the Contemporary Masters such as Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and among many others.

Andrew Unangst, born in 1950, is an American commercial and fashion photographer. He moved to New York in the 1970s and found success working for geographic and travel magazines. Throughout his career, Unangst has photographed portraits of notable figures including Andy Warhol (1928-1987), former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, American author Stephen King, Gold medal Olympian Oksana Baiul, and Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones. His work has appeared on the cover of TIME Magazine, Interview Magazine, among other publications concerning the life and work of Andy Warhol. His well-known portraits of Warhol were taken during a photo-shoot at Unangst’s Park Avenue studio in 1985. Unangst reworked these photographs over a long period to achieve a satisfactory quality. The portraits are now held by collections including the Andy Warhol Museum, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the International Center of Photography, New York. During his career, Unangst explored a wide range of different mediums and themes; alongside his advertising activity, he collaborated with great artists and photographers, such as Richard Avedon and Peter Beard, for whom he photographed diaries and realized portraits. He opened a gallery in New York City, focusing on modern painting and ancient tribal objects and exhibited in a solo show at Pace Gallery, in 1986. The year after, Life Magazine dedicated a groundbreaking article to his work and he was then nominated Photographer of the Year by Adweek Magazine. He is responsible for the development of an innovative technique that transfers the use of light of 16th and 17th century Dutch paintings into photography, exploiting its ability to confer tridimensional qualities to the surface. His early works have been collected by Carl Sandburg and are today part of the permanent archives of the Museum of Modern Art.
