In Motion: Andy Warhol 1974 – 1986, a curated exhibition of photographs by Andy Warhol

SIZED is to present In Motion: Andy Warhol 1974 – 1986, a curated exhibition of Andy Warhol photographs to view for three days from December 9e at 11e in the new SIZED STUDIO in Los Angeles. Each piece, in the highly inspired show, was selected by SIZED Founder and Creative Director, Alexander May, from the collection of Jim Hedges, one of the most notable Andy Warhol collectors in the world.

On the Move: Andy Warhol 1974 – 1986 presents more than forty photographs from 1974 to 1986, including previously unseen pieces. The exhibition is a collection of remarkable moments throughout Warhol’s life and is carefully curated by May, with each image offering a unique insight into the artist’s daily life, as well as the New York cultural scene. The black and white film portraits represent a sample of each of Warhol’s film subjects, including photos of friends and contemporaries such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, William S. Burroughs, Bianca Jagger, and more.

In Motion: Andy Warhol 1974 – 1986 is a collection of seemingly random moments from Warhol’s personal life spanning over a decade.

It’s a reference to how a person’s creative process comes and goes through travel, studio practice, friends, lovers and collaborators – which seemed fitting given that we’re marking the opening of a new cultural studio through this exhibition.

Warhol’s famous gelatin silver prints embody his performative approach to everyday life, a concept that May has harnessed and infused into the exhibition, which will engage visitors through a highly designed space created to complement each piece. A newly cemented mainstay in the Los Angeles community, SIZED STUDIO is pleased to officially mark its debut with this one-of-a-kind exhibit, offering a glimpse of what to expect from the multi-use, 5,000 square foot l space in the future.

Alexander May has an incredible eye and sensitivity for identifying large objects and curating unique experiences. It is a great pleasure to be the first exhibition at SIZED STUDIO’s first permanent location and no other artist lives up to the honor more than Andy Warhol.
