From the Factory to the world. Andy Warhol

Until July 22. - From the Factory to the world. Photography and the community of Warhol, details the role of photography in the documentation and implementation of the bohemian culture of the Factory. In function since 1962, the Factory was not only the workspace of Andy Warhol, one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, but also a way of collaboration between the creator and a lot of friends, lovers, artists, curious and spectators.

The exhibition offers a portrait of the Factory as an architectural space, community and proposed counter-aesthetic to the art and life. It consists of photographic work of Warhol and other artists who passed through the Factory as Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, Billy Name and Stephen Shore. Among the over one hundred photographs on display, we can find the ones made by Warhol himself, little-known images that have been recently released by the program of the legacy of Andy Warhol Foundation.

The exhibition also includes a selection of books and magazines, shows the increasingly global, social and cultural practice of the American artist. The sample is within Photoespaña 2012.
