Specialist note

These unique photo booth strips of Holly Solomon embody the pop princess's effervescent personality and play with the camera, and slight tease of method acting, taught to her by mentor and friend, Lee Strasberg. She is dressed in her own uptown Factory girl style, donned in a commanding fur coat with seductive prowess. These punchy delightful photographs of her were done as studies for the eventual 9-panel Holly portrait by Andy Warhol.
