A Rare Glimpse into Warhols Self-Image

This limited-edition book accompanies a special collection of 100 unique skate decks celebrating Andy Warhol’s Self-Portraits. Featuring previously unpublished photographs, this book offers an intimate look at Warhols ever-evolving self-imagecapturing the raw authenticity behind his artistic persona.

Unlike his mass-produced silkscreens, Warhols photographic self-portraits were deeply personal and one-of-a-kindvarying not just in content but also in scale, shifting between grand statements and more intimate formats.

Today, with the advent of social media, the Polaroids resonate with even more relevance. Echoing the famous concept of 15 minutes of fame, anyone is able to turn their personal self public, and communicate their image through the display of selfies. And yet, a certain intimacy remains in the act of capturing ones personality in a single snapshot.
