Corey Grant Tippin at the Warhol Factory

A collage by Corey Grant Tippen from his Warhol Factory days.

Warhol’s legacy will always live on viewed from a lens filled with haute glamour mixed with irony. The Stamford, Connecticut based Samuel Owen Gallery recently debut The Modern Show/Famous for 15 Minutes – Icons of the 1970′s and 1980′s.

A special guest, stylist Corey Grant Tippin, was available for a Q&A recounting his experiences working closely with Warhol creating the images from the “Ladies and Gentlemen” series. And in Warhol fashion, guests participated in a Polaroid art installation shot by Tippin.

The talented artist Paul Caranicas attended the event and shared his photos with us!
