Andy Warhol photographed by Greg Mathieson at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond on December 3, 1985.
He is posing with his silkscreen painting "Triple Elvis" (1963). In his diary, Andy recalled:
"We went to the Lewises' house. We chit-chatted and then people had to change into black tie at the Lewises' to go over to the museum. I was just in a turtleneck and my coat, so all day it looked like I was about to leave. My Calvin Klein with the hood. But for some reason nobody thought it was unusual. They told me that at 6:00 I'd have to be on TV live, so I got nervous about it being live. But then I didn't care and I got it over with. ... And I had to go to the bathroom because of all the vitamin C I'm taking now, and the bathroom was full of guys with cigars and I'm really going to have to get over this bathroom phobia because I just feel so... I mean, there was a stall but somebody was in it and I tried to wait, but... And they said, 'Oh, you're Andy Warhol,' and I'm trying to pee, and then right after you pee they want to shake your hand.
Leo Castelli was there with Toiny and she's a lost soul and he's really out of it. But the horrible thing was seeing everybody looking thirty years older. I'm so spoiled from going around with nineteen-year-olds."
In an article for the Richmond Times-Dispatch (December 4, 1985), Brooke Taylor wrote:
"At the party of the year, the gala dinner celebrating the opening of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts' West Wing, 550 Virginia art patrons mingled last night with a contingent of nationally known artists as they strolled through the Lewis and Mellon collections. ... Corice Arman, wife of sculptor Arman, wore a purple jacket over a sheer black camisole. ... Viewing the Lewis collection with her was pop artist Andy Warhol, his shock of white hair as startling as any of his works.
'It's great,' Warhol pronounced, peering through red-trimmed glasses at his favorite part of the Lewis collection. Frances Lewis' jewelry.
'We want to rob this jewelry. How could she give it all up? No one has this stuff. She's the only one, and she gave it up. The wonderful thing is now she will be able to share it with the public.'" via@poparttrio
