DAVID GIROIRE  IS PLEASED TO PRESENT THE EXHIBITION “ANDY WARHOL: INSTANTANÉS” AT GALERIE ITALIENNE.January 15- March 13th.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION The Galerie Italienne presents “Andy Warhol: Instantanés” from January 15 to March 13, 2021, the largest exhibition of Warhol’s photographs ever shown in a private gallery in France, marking the importance of this medium in the artist’s oeuvre.

This photo exhibition showcases the various themes and techniques Warhol explored throughout his career.

This rare selection is organized according to several themes: the iconic Polaroids and photo booth portraits, as well as lesser-known works like prints from film, nudes from the “Sex Parts & Torsos” series and collages. His “stitched photographs,” consisting of black and white prints held together with thread will also be on display—these constituted the peak of Warhol’s photographic work, exhibited at his last exhibition in January 1987, six weeks before his death.

This exciting exhibition is a tribute to Warhol’s extensive photographic work.

All the works shown come from the collection of James Hedges, founder of the Hedges Projects, and the Jack Shainman Gallery.

The Galerie Italienne, is a contemporary art gallery at 15 rue du Louvre in Paris, opposite the Pinault Collection and just a few minutes from the Centre Pompidou and the Louvre Museum.

Run by Alessandro Pron and Raphaëlla Riboud-Seydoux, the Galerie Italienne aims to exhibition contemporary Italian and international artists with an ambitious program of solo exhibitions and groups shows, presented in its 450m² space.

Alessandro Pron has been running the Galerie Italienne since it opened in Paris in 2001. He has always supported creators, first designers then, since moving to the rue de Louvre, emerging contemporary artists.
