Lévy Gorvy invites visitors to Warhol Women on Saturday, May 4 to star in their own 90-second screen test! Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests—short, silent, black-and-white films that translate portraiture from canvas to celluloid—illuminate yet another aspect of how Warhol looked at, considered, and depicted women. Normally reserved for movie actors, the Hollywood screen test was co-opted by Warhol as a vehicle for making every subject a star, revealing their true identity by letting his camera roll without filtering or directing his subject. To make your own screen test, please enter the gallery via the 73rd Street entrance.
