Last month, Andy Warhol collectors and enthusiasts,
convened at the Samuel Owen Gallery~
Pop Up Shop, in New Canaan, Connecticut.
The event, The Modern Show/Famous for 15 Minutes,
featured a rare and eclectic selection of works by Andy Warhol
and his contemporaries.
This special evening also featured Corey Grant Tippin.
An artist, designer and antiques dealer.
Mr. Tippin was a fixture in Warhol's notorious factory.
He worked alongside Warhol to create the images
seen in the famous print series, "Ladies and Gentlemen".
Mr. Tippin was gracious enough to host
a question and answer session about his time
at Warhol's factory.
He also shared his Polaroids from his time with Warhol.
Mr. Tippin even had a Polaroid camera on hand that
evening, and was busy taking shots of the
guests which will be featured in a live art installation.

It was a great evening of art and art history.

How. Cool.

How lucky you are....a piece of history! It must have been so interesting. Did you ever read "Edie", I was intrigued with her days back then.
Have a great week!

Thank you so much for your comment today~haha Yes, that solved the mystery as to the children flying the nest so early in our lives!
What a wonderful evening, Sue! And I'm also guessing that's you in the second row....
How apt to have a Warhol Pop-Up Shop (strictly timed to last for 15 minutes...?)
I love this idea, it sounds like a lovely evening! Polaroid pictures... how delightful and all inspired by Andy Warhol... even better. I saw his exhibition here in Brisbane 18 months ago and absolutely loved it!! :) Hazel
Oh would you just look at this! Polaroids with Warhol. What a captivating evening...and a polaroid of you too. Loves it.
That sounds BEYOND fantastic. I bet it was fascinating to hear about Warhol and see all those polaroids.
I can't find you but I love this post! I can't believe what an exciting life you have. So many people to meet and things to do. It's just awesome to read about.
That polaroid installation is so cool! I miss art gallery openings and shows so much, it's been a long time. Nice to reconnect a little to this world, albeit vicariously. Digging your Warhol obsession.
Sounds like an amazing time. This would have been so great to go to!
That's so amazing! I am jealous that you had that opportunity! Art Gallery openings seem so amazing, I can't wait to attend one.
Fun to be a part of something so special!!!
What a wonderful opportunity.
I bet you looked amazing : )
