Bel Ami, a series of photographs and silkscreen prints, was born out of an unlikely friendship between Andy Warhol and Torsten Ullman. In the 1980s, Ullman, a prominent Swedish photographer, began collaborating with Warhol on various projects. Their shared fascination with the realms of art, fashion, and celebrity led to the creation of Bel Ami, a project that blurred the lines between photography, printmaking, and portraiture.
The Bel Ami series features Ullman's photographs of Warhol's subjects, which were then transformed into silkscreen prints by Warhol himself. This fusion of techniques resulted in a distinctive aesthetic, marrying Ullman's lens-based art with Warhol's iconic printmaking style. The works showcase a diverse range of subjects, from celebrities and models to Warhol's own Factory regulars. Bel Ami – Kevin Warhol and Torsten Ullman.mp4
