Thomas Hoepker (1936) - Double exposure of Andy Warhol at The Factory

Thomas Hoepker - Hand signed Double exposure of Andy Warhol at The Factory at Union Square. Manhattan. New York City, USA. 1981. “I have a sneaking suspicion that Andy Warhol never really existed. That he was merely an apparition, a zombie. With that idea in mind, I went to meet him for our first photo shoot, in 1981. They gave me very little time so I came prepared. Thinking of his famous silkscreen prints which were based on the primary colors, red, green, and blue, I took some colored transparent filters with me to his famous Factory on New York’s Union Square. Andy greeted me with a cold handshake and whispered: “What do you want me to do?” I explained what I had in mind, and without any hesitation he stood silently in front of me, staring through the colored filters into the camera. Andy— bathed in green, red, and blue—looked like his very own ghost, but was utterly professional. To give the picture an even more ghostly appearance I thought a double exposure would be good to try.” Thomas Hoepker is one of the best photographers of the 20th as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Helmut Newton, Robert Mapplethorpe, Elliot Erwitt, Annie Leibovitz or Robert Capa, he was considered an icon of 20th century culture like Andy Warhol, Basquiat, Roy Lichtenstein, Jeff Koons or Banksy.
