THE MAKING OF
PAUL STEPHENSON TAKES HIS STEER FROM ASKING HIMSELF JUST ONE THING: 'WHAT WOULD ANDY DO?'
Rarely has such a faithful rendering of an artist’s methodology been established with the rigour and diligence that we see in After Warhol . Paul Stephenson’s odyssey into the world of Warhol began in 2010 when he purchased a collection of the artist’s original acetates. His ensuing collection – created in collaboration with one of Warhol’s original master printers, Alexander Heinrici – has been lauded by both the BBC and Vice Magazine. Revered in the world of screen-printing, Alexander Heinrici was Andy Warhol’s silkscreen printer of choice, and is still much in demand to this day. Working out of his studio in Brooklyn, NYC, he has collaborated with art world heavyweights such as Damien Hirst. Fast-forward to today, and Paul is the only artist with whom Alexander is working to create what the world’s leading scholar on Andy Warhol has called ‘posthumous Warhol’ screen prints.
