“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.
