Andy Warhol’s After the Party (1979) brings the eye that made art of soup cans and Brillo boxes to the clutter left on a dinner table after the guests go home. For an artist known for consumer goods and celebrity portraits, it is a personal, behind-the-scenes subject. The print was published with the Gold Edition of Exposures, Warhol’s 1979 book of photographs of his famous friends.

A high-contrast photograph shows wine glasses, tumblers, bottles, an ashtray and plates strewn across a dark tabletop. Over it, Warhol drew loose, crayon-like outlines around each object, their color shifting from red at left through yellow and green to blue at right. The bright lines lend the leftovers glamour and mystique, so the lively evening comes back from what remains.

The scene follows a party at the Factory, Warhol’s New York studio and one of the city’s most coveted invitations. The empty glasses hint at the celebrities and “superstars” he gathered and studied, reflecting his lifelong fascination with fame. His work is held by MoMA, the Met, Tate, the Centre Pompidou, the Guggenheim, the Whitney, SFMOMA, the National Gallery of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago.

This impression, number 93 from the edition of 1,000, was a gift from Warhol to its current owner, whom he met through mutual friends. He also made several drawings of the owner’s children — a personal connection to the artist that few prints can claim.
