More than any other artist of his time, Andy Warhol documented
the changing tempos of our culture: Remember everyone’s 15
minutes of fame? Stanford University has recently acquired the
Warhol estate's photographic contact sheets and negatives,
a treasure trove documenting his day-to-day life and artistic
practice between 1976-1987. In Warhol’s rapid-fire technique,
Stanford scholars Peggy Phelan and Richard Meyer find a
commitment to photography as a medium of the future rather
than a record of the past.

The annual Richard Gray Visual Art Series recognizes a
significant gift from founding CHF board member and distinguished art dealer Richard Gray. This program is presented in
partnership with the Stanford Humanities Center.
