Never-seen Andy Warhol intimate portraits of superstars

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Photographs of celebrities captured in informal moments by the artist Andy Warhol are to be seen by the public for the first time.
The American pop artist focused on photography towards the end of his career and took pictures of his famous friends in candid and spontaneous moments.
Many of his subjects were showbusiness friends who visited his luxurious beach house or his New York studio known as The Factory.
Now the exhibit I'll Be Your Mirror will show superstars like John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Elizabeth Taylor, Madonna, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Liza Minnelli, Diana Ross and Debbie Harry.

Sting, formerly of The Police. Warhol, who died in 1987, only ever made one print of each of his photos, so they are unique works of art.
