The photographer who travelled the globe with Warhol Andy in nature
“Andy loved nature, he loved getting out,” says Warhol’s longtime friend and collaborator, Christopher Makos, who is honoring the pop artist’s love of the natural world with Andy in Nature – a joint exhibition with photographer Paul Solberg at Forest Hall in Milford, PA, the birthplace of the American Conservation Movement.
Although people often think of Warhol at his famed New York Factory or nightclubs like Studio 54 and Max’s Kansas City, Makos knew another side of the legendary artist. Together they traveled the globe, flying the Concorde to Paris, skiing in Aspen, or lounging at Eothen, Warhol’s Montauk estate, which was bequeathed to the Nature Conservancy following his death in 1987.
