Om verket

Warhol photographed David Whitney in 1972, producing the colour portrait now owned by the National Gallery of Art in Washington. Whitney wears a dark jacket and bow tie over a white shirt. The Polacolor image measures 9.5 cm in height and 7.2 cm in width. It came directly from the Warhol Foundation in 2013, with curator Claudia Defendi's initials on the reverse. The portrait is not on view.

Hela livet

1970–1971
The retrospective from Pasadena to the Whitney
In 1970 the Pasadena Art Museum organised a Warhol retrospective that travelled on to Chicago, Eindhoven, Paris, London and, in 1971, the Whitney Museum in New York. At the Whitney the Cow wallpaper (1966) served as the backdrop for the paintings.
c. 1971 – 1974
More and more often in Paris
Warhol began travelling to Europe more often and grew especially fond of Paris after filming L'Amour (1972); he kept an apartment on the Left Bank, on Rue du Cherche-Midi, shared with Fred Hughes. In Paris his circle socialised with Karl Lagerfeld, Yves Saint Laurent, Loulou de la Falaise and Paloma Picasso.
1973
Diagnosis: a gallstone
In 1973 Warhol was diagnosed with a gallstone but adamantly refused surgery because he feared hospitals. His physician Denton Cox tried to obtain an experimental medication from Japan, while a chiropractor and a nutritionist suggested he wear a small crystal.
