About the Exhibition
Andy Warhol: Big Shot
September 19 - December 20, 2020
“Andy Warhol: Big Shot” is the artist’s third exhibition at the Newport Art Museum, his first was a group show in honor of gallery owner Leo Castelli in 1977, and second was “Andy Warhol’s Children’s Show” in 1985. This exhibition focuses on Warhol’s photographic work and specifically his Polaroids, for which he used a Polaroid Big Shot and an SX-70 camera. Taken to document his art and aid in his drawing for ads, make self-portraits, and create portraits that would become studies for silkscreen prints and paintings, Polaroids were at the heart of Warhol's work.
