The Foundation is very pleased to be collaborating with the Barbican to present an evening of screenings and conversation about this important period in Warhol’s career when he first began working with film. Between 1963 and 1965, Warhol created multiple seminal works, that rank among his most iconic and celebrated films, including Sleep (1963) and Empire (1964). This event will provide a rare opportunity to see three of the films on 16mm.
After the screening Matthew Barrington (Curator of Cinema at the Barbican) will be joined by esteemed curators and writers John G. Hanhardt (general editor of the award-winning book) and Dr. Elena Gorfinkel who will discuss the creative approaches and conceptual innovations which characterised this period of Warhol’s career, and the development of this monumental publication. Following the conversation, audience members will be invited to the cinema foyer for a wine reception.
We hope you can make it!
The Films of Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné: 1963–1965 edited by John G. Hanhardt (Whitney Museum of American Art) focuses on Warhol’s film works from the years 1963-65 during a time when the renowned artist produced hundreds of film and video works – short and long, silent and sound, scripted and improvised.
The book features over 100 individual works which are catalogued in detail and combined with enlightening essays that cover Warhol’s influences, his experimentation with film, source material, working methods and technical innovations, as well as his engagement with the people he filmed and how they came to life on the screen.
The book was selected by the 2022 Moving Image Book Award judges as as exemplary demonstration of originality and excellence in the field of moving image publishing.
