Andy Warhol’s Hidden Polaroids
POV
Warhol: The Dialectical Third unveils 148 rarely seen Polaroids from Andy Warhol’s most intimate and subversive series — Ladies and Gentlemen, Sex Parts, Torso, and Querelle. Curated by Dina Giordano and drawn from the collection of Dr. Jeffrey S. Grove, the exhibition reframes Warhol’s Polaroids not as preliminary studies, but as radical artworks in their own right: documents of queer intimacy, gender performance, and the interplay between visibility and concealment.

ABOUT
“The Dialectical Third invites visitors into a liminal territory—not as passive observers, but as active participants in the alchemical process of meaning-making,” said Dina Giordano, Curator and Executive Director of The Grove Foundation for the Arts. “This exhibition takes as its philosophical foundation the notion that truth doesn’t reside in singular, fixed positions, but rather materializes in the dynamic tension between seemingly oppositional forces. Andy Warhol’s Polaroid series—which confront duality, representation, identity and embodiment—serve as a guide through this conceptual landscape.”
