Having experienced a major Warhol retrospective at the Whitney years ago, we’d be remiss not to recommend a visit there this fall: if you’re in New York before October 19th, check out ‘Andy Warhol: Family Album’, bringing together a medium dear to our hearts: over 700 Polaroid photographs taken by Warhol between 1972 and 1973 — friends on Long Island, his dog Archie, European vacations, the full orbit of his social world captured with the same camera he used to develop his iconic silkscreen portraits.

In honor of the Whitney Museum’s exhibition, ‘Andy Warhol: Family Album’, we share a a small selection of Warhol Polaroids from our own inventory.

Visit ‘Andy Warhol: Family Album’ at the Whitney Museum of American Art · On view through October 19, 2026.

“Still looks fresh, raw without being messy, expressive without being naïve.” — Fraser Brough, art historian⁠
⁠
Moira Cameron began working with paper bags in New York City in the 1980s — sourced from daily life and travel, then cut, patched, glued, and stenciled into something entirely new. ‘Everything’ (1990) carries both personal memory and the broader visual language of an era: the signs, symbols, and sayings of a city in full creative ferment.⁠

“The symbol, representing Divine Will, became the foundation of the piece, aligning with the spirit of the Horse — a powerful force capable of carrying us further and faster than we could go alone. It speaks to a balance between momentum and trust, where control softens and movement is guided not by force, but by alignment with something greater.” ⁠
⁠
— Yulia Brodskaya⁠

“'Aurora IV' is a vibrant composition that bathes each photograph on the accordion books in warm color gradients that are digitally printed on Japanese paper. In all of my works in the 'Aurora' series, I paint the back of each piece with a fluorescent neon red that reflects and glows against stark white walls. For me, this color calls to mind both the natural – the pinkish-orange light of dawn – as well as the highly artificial – the neon orange of traffic cones and hazard tape.” - Nicole Pietrantoni⁠

Sam Gilliam never stopped pushing at the boundaries of what a work on paper could be.⁠
⁠
‘Oval’ (2008) exists between printmaking, painting, and sculptural assemblage — the same restless hybridization that defined Gilliam’s entire practice, from the draped canvases of the 1960s to the late printmaking collaborations with Tandem Press.⁠

“Equally important to my creative process is the subjectivity of my audience — the freedom of the viewer to interpret my work from a unique perspective. My works allow the viewers’ experiences and energies to inform their perception.” — Cha Jong Rye

‘Expose Exposed 210912’ (2021) is engineered wood worked into sweeping, wave-like forms, drawing from the same forces Rye finds throughout nature: connecting mountain ranges, fish cutting through water, the spirit she calls ki, built up from wind into something that moves everything. At 54.1 x 28.3 x 9.4 in., it can be installed horizontally or vertically, shifting the character of a space entirely with each orientation.

It’s peak summer in Indianapolis, Indiana – the perfect time to reflect on a question posed by Tacita Dean: “How many blues make up a sky?”⁠
⁠
Dean moved to Los Angeles to be artist in residence at the Getty Research Institute in 2014 — arriving after decades in Berlin and London, and finding something she hadn't anticipated: clouds. Not gray European clouds, but white, windborne ones that only intensified the particular quality of blue surrounding them.⁠
⁠
'LA Exuberance 14' (2016) is one of fifteen lithographs from that period, published by Gemini G.E.L.⁠

In honor of Andy Warhol's birthday this year, we celebrate unexpected press coverage related to one of our favorite drawings by the artist, 'Tidal Basin'. ⁠
⁠
Washington DC's Tidal Basin spans 107 acres and reaches a depth of about 10 feet. The Reflecting Pool sits between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. While it is a separate body of water to the Tidal Basin, The Reflecting Pool occasionally draws from the Basin to refill or uses it to receive overflow.⁠
⁠
Recently, green algae overtook The Reflecting Pool, an occurrence that has been described as both an ecological phenomenon and a consequence of recent nearby renovations. The Washington Monument, near both the Tidal Basin and The Reflecting Pool, was on full display.⁠
⁠
When commissioned to create and design the cover of the Washington Post Magazine in 1983, illustration remained a pivotal part of Warhol’s creative process. He created two images for the cover, putting his signature style to work on Washington D.C.’s Tidal Basin and the Washington Monument. The final unique screenprint of the Tidal Basin was selected for the cover of the magazine on August 14, 1983.⁠
⁠
Here we present a graphite drawing by Warhol, one that distills this iconic imagery to something simple and pure. ⁠
⁠
On what would be his 98th year, we wish Andy Warhol a very happy birthday!⁠
