## Caption

Before the wigs, the silk screens, and the Factory fame, there was the Polaroid camera.
Andy Warhol used Polaroids as both a diary and a tool — capturing celebrities, socialites, artists, and strangers in raw flashes of light and immediacy. These instant photographs became the foundation for some of his most iconic portraits, preserving a moment before it transformed into Pop Art history.

From blurred glamour shots to intimate behind-the-scenes encounters, Warhol’s Polaroids reveal an obsession with fame, identity, beauty, and repetition. Decades later, they remain some of the most revealing and human works in his entire oeuvre.
