David Bailey – Unique Colour Polaroid

1972

This original and unique Polaroid from 1972 by David Bailey presents an intimate portrait of Andy Warhol, one of the most iconic figures in 20th-century art.

The work is hand-signed and inscribed on the reverse.

This is a one-of-a-kind work, a Polaroid Type 100, mounted on the original Polaroid photograph mount. 

The composition captures Warhol in a quiet, introspective moment, with soft lighting and subtle tonal nuances characteristic of the immediate and spontaneous aesthetic of Polaroid photography. Its small scale reinforces the sense of intimacy and rarity.

The Polaroid is professionally presented in a vintage wooden frame, ensuring both protection and an elegant display.

Framed size approx. 30 × 27 cm.
