Dandy Andy: Warhol’s Queer History

A black and white photograph shows Andy Warhol from the chest up in drag, wearing a short coiffed brown wig, heavy face powder, black eyeliner, and dark red lipstick. He turns his head slightly and stares at the camera, with a loose white blouse unbuttoned at the neck.

Theater Screenings

A black and white film still split by a vertical line; on the left, a person gazes as another is spewing something out of their mouth towards their face, and on the right, the same person stares directly at something displaying their own side profile.
