BOB
“WARHOL MUSEUM
ACQUIRES BOB KISS PHOTO”
The Andy Warhol Museum
in Pittsburg, PA., USA
recently acquired a Bob Kiss photograph of seminal pop artist, Andy
Warhol. Kiss made the photo in 1982 as part of a series named
“Resident Aliens” using the same Hasselblad camera that the
Astronauts used on the moon in order to get the crosses in the photos that
everyone recognized in the lunar photos. The subjects were so enormously
talented that they could humorously be considered extraterrestrials.
Other subjects in this series included world famous author Isaac Asimov,
influential art critic and historian Henry Geldzahler, and famous New York lawyer David
Ledy.
Kiss
already has two Interview Magazine cover photos and two photos from pages
inside Interview Magazine in the Warhol
Museum. They were
included in the Warhol retrospective show that opened at the Whitney Museum
in New York
in 1998 and subsequently toured the world.
Kiss
is very excited by this recent acquisition because the photo is from one of his
own creative projects whereas the other photos in the Warhol Museum
were from assignments for Interview Magazine.
Bob
has lived in Barbados
since 1993 and, though he has concentrated mostly on fine art photography since
1996, he recently received ADDY awards for the Caribbean Region Best Over All
Advertising Photograph and the Best Black and White Advertising Photograph for
ads shot for Virgo Communications.
