Andy Warhol: Man's Best Friend
Text by Vincent Freemont.
Andy Warhol: Man's Best Friend collects works from a less familiar Warhol. Here are surprisingly sweet and intimate sketches of dogs, including portraits of Warhol's own best friend, the dachshund Archie. A short essay by former Vice-President of Andy Warhol Enterprises Vincent Fremont tells the story of how Archie came into Warhol's life.

"In 1970, Jed Johnson, Andy’s boyfriend, convinced him they should get a dog. Through a friend’s recommendation, Jed decided on a dark brown, shorthaired dachshund puppy: Jed and Andy named him Archie. It was definitively the beginning of a wonderful relationship… Andy was so attached to Archie that he would not travel to London because he could not bare leaving Archie at home in quarantine for six months. Archie became Andy’s alter ego. Andy would hold Archie when being photographed by the press and would deflect questions to him that he did not want to answer."
