‘Before They Were Famous: Behind the Lens of William John Kennedy’ – Nearly lost archives of Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana negatives find their fame. Miami resident William John Kennedy reveals 1960s photographs of iconic American pop artists at Scope Miami 2011.

After almost half a century in storage, the astonishing discovery of an archive of historically significant film negatives of Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana, taken in 1963 and 1964 by fine art photographer William John Kennedy, have fully surfaced and begun to emerge in the art world. Kennedy’s images capture the two artists and their soon-to-be iconic works at the seminal point of their careers and at the birth of the Pop Art Movement. Viewers of the only Miami-based, museum-style exhibition within SCOPE Miami will encounter a careful selection of Kennedy’s compelling photographic images—along with never-before-heard 1960s audio conversations between Warhol and artist Ultra Violet.
