Spotlight: Andy Warhol’s Polaroids

Andy Warhol was born 91 years ago today, and while he is most known for his silkscreened Campbell’s, Marilyns, and Maos, he also left behind a body of work in a medium that we’re now seeing a resurgence of: Polaroids.

Andy snapped Polaroids of everyone, from fashion titans like Saint Laurent and Versace, to fellow artists like Hockney and Rauschenberg.

The Warhol Foundation has been graciously sharing some of these snaps on Instagram recently. Check out some of them below.
