Louis Waldon

In celebration of the Andy Warhol Retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles May 25 thru August 18, 2002, Warhol Superstar and former Factory member Louis Waldon came out of retirement to produce this unique collector's edition, using the same materials and following the same silkscreen techniques as used in the Factory.

As a long time contributor and supporter of the Los Angeles art community, Louis Waldon is producing this series of classic Warhol images from the Superstar years.

The artists working with Louis on this series are all based in Los Angeles.  They all have a common appreciation of Andy Warhol and his contribution to the World of contemporary art.  Andy was a brilliant artist and visionary who understood America's obsessions with fame, notoriety, voyeurism and consumerism.  His insight was equaled only by his sense of irony.  Inspired greatly by Marcel Duchamp, he transformed the familiar into art. Unlike Duchamp, who never liked to repeat himself, Warhol was obsessed with repeating and replicating images.  Louis uses the same techniques that Warhol used in the Factory during the sixties.  All the works are limited editions of 100. They are numbered and stamped "Andy Warhol Superstar Years 66 to 69" and signed by  Louis Waldon.
