“David’s cute, he really is magic”
Taken between 1972-1974, Andy Warhol’s candid and gracefully staged portraits of the iconic British painter give an instant, behind-the-scenes insight into the artists’ friendship.
Later in 1981, following a profile of David Hockney in Interview Magazine - founded by Warhol in 1969 - the American Pop artist noted in his diary:
“David Hockney came to lunch and Vincent [Fremont] did a video of him. And afterwards he went into the other room and did the interview. David’s cute, he really is magic.”
The portraits are part of a series of polaroids taken by Warhol towards the end of his career, which chronicle celebrities, artists, friends and himself in spontaneous and instant moments.
