| Liza by Warhol |
There is a new rather spectacular exhibition in London that showcases the work of two giants of American postwar visual culture. Photographer Richard Avedon and artist Andy Warhol were both portraitists, obsessed with celebrity, and used repetition within their images. They often used the same subjects, and Avedon even photographed Warhol a couple of times with not always very flattering results. Despite their worlds overlapping they were not friends, and in his diaries Warhol describes Avedon as 'horrible'.
