Christophe Von Hohenberg, 1987
Curated by Aretha Campbell, the exhibition brings together letters from the memorial, photographs, as well as works by Warhol himself. Von Hohenberg came upon Warhol's funeral at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York, whilst on assignment for Vanity Fair. His probing lens snapping beautiful black and white photos, capturing the swirl of celebrity that forced itself, shoulder-to-shoulder into the event, it was as if Andy Warhol had planned his own funeral, a dizzying crush of fame and fakery.
