Me as Him

My book about how the British conceptual artist GAVIN TURK 'remade' a 1986 Anthony d'Offay Gallery ANDY WARHOL exhibition in 2007 at Riflemaker Gallery in London. Turk subsumed his features within Warhol's 'fright-wig' skull for a group of multi-coloured screenprinted canvases. But the book has a wider narrative about the particular nature of Warhol's - and Turk's - art. The show was an immediate sell-out. I was at both exhibitions (I curated Turk's, with Riflemaker co-director Virginia Damtsa). I sat with Warhol at the 1986 exhibition dinner and 'chatted' with the maestro. 600 copies were printed. These three were found in a storage box in 2016.
