Record albums with Andy Warhol cover art is not all I have been collecting of this artist the past twenty or so years, also books and magazines designed, illustrated or published by Warhol. It’s time to take these out of the bookshelves and boxes, and finally show them to people. I will be holding an exhibition the coming four weekends in my hometown Antwerp, Belgium, in a gallery specialised in artist’s books, graphics and printed matter: galerie s&s run by Walter Siemons.
As is the case with the record covers, you can follow every step of Warhol’s career by his work for books and magazines, even more so. There are nearly 200 items on view in the exhibition, going from his early illustration work in the Fifties, over pop art, conceptual art, to commissioned portraits and business art. Even Warhol himself as a fashion model – “special bookings only” – at the big agencies Zoli and Ford Models.
Below you can enjoy some installation views. Details of the exhibition: galerie S&S, Gijselsstraat 60, Borgerhout (Antwerp). Opening on Friday Oct. 28 at 19h, then each Saturday and Sunday until Nov 20, from 14-18h.









Hi Guy! What a unique and impressive exhibit. I had no idea your collection was so diverse. “Thanks” for sharing. I wish I could make the trip “across the pond” to experience it in person.
I’m sure it’s going to be a fun and successful event! Good luck!
