Photobooth Pictures: Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol – Photobooth Pictures
Softcover Exhibition Catalogue | First Edition, 1989 | Robert Miller Gallery

Andy Warhol: Photobooth Pictures is a rare and intimate softcover catalogue published in 1989 by Robert Miller Gallery, offering a focused look at one of Warhol’s most conceptually compelling practices—his use of the photobooth as both a camera and collaborator.

This book compiles a series of Warhol’s photobooth portraits, captured from the 1960s through the 1980s, showcasing friends, lovers, muses, and Warhol himself in raw, unfiltered strips. These portraits—mechanically uniform yet emotionally varied—reflect Warhol’s lifelong fascination with identity, celebrity, anonymity, and the reproducibility of the self. Stark, spontaneous, and deeply Pop, they read like proto-selfies decades before digital culture.

Features:

• Dozens of black-and-white and color photobooth strips

• Minimal text; mostly visual presentation

• Published on the occasion of Warhol’s Photobooth Pictures exhibition at Robert Miller Gallery, New York

• A rare glimpse into Warhol’s photographic process beyond the Factory mythos

Edition Notes:

• Softcover with photo-illustrated wraps

• First Edition, 1989

• Dimensions: approx. 9 x 12 inches

• Out of print; increasingly scarce on the secondary market

More than just a collection of portraits, Photobooth Pictures captures Warhol’s core philosophy: that art, fame, and identity are all things you can step inside, pose for, and repeat endlessly. A must-have for Warhol collectors, photography aficionados, and fans of Pop minimalism.
