PRESS PHOTOGRAPH OF ANDY WARHOL ‘SITTING IN THE SCENE’. c. 1965.

24 x 18cm, (small margins). Vintage press photograph of the artist sitting on a box in the Factory with a flower painting behind him and the walls covered in silver foil in places (see Warhol’s diaries for the story about that.) The image is from c. 1965 and printed out in July 1968 (there is a date stamp on the verso) as one of a number of images used during the shooting of Andy Warhol story. On the reverse are two scotch taped press clippings (clipped) and one typed legend which reads “Sitting in the scene. He glorified the soup can is one of the leaders in creating both the pop-art and underground motion picture as known today. His name: Andy Warhol. AP NEWSFEATURES PHOTO)”. Two clippings are rubber stamped as "Jul 7 1968" and a later library catalogue stamp of Dec 7 1993. The back of the photograph is browned by age and there is one 1.5cm tear on the right which has lost some of the photographic substrate and the top of the print has some crumpling but not much and there are two brown marks on the left of the print. Over all though this is in VG condition if one ignores the tear. Provenance: part of a group of photographs decommission from the Seattle Times Library.
