The West End Timothy Taylor Gallery is currently hosting one of London's most exciting exhibitions this season.
Andy Warhol: Portraits and Landscapes features a rare collection of over 200 black and white photographs by the legendary Pop artist.
Taken from 1976-87, these photographs reveal the last ten years of Warhol's life in the urban landscape of New York, London and even Paris.
Through the eyes of Warhol as a twentieth century flâneur, images of toilets, mannequins in shop windows, dogs and flea-markets still bear their original potency in this poetic visual narrative.
Whilst Rachael had great trouble peeling her eyes away from a photograph of two well-dressed pugs, I had a soft-spot for undeveloped negatives showing intimate portraits of Jean-Michel Basquiat in a Keith Haring t-shirt.
The exhibtion is free and runs until February 29th
