​
​Soon after Warhol’s death photographer David Gamble was permitted access to Warhol’s East 66th street House, Factory and Warehouse. There, he captured the placement of Warhol’s belongings as the artist had lived with them over the years. Rather than simply documenting the space, Gamble’s careful still-lifes capture the humanity and fierce individuality of the artist. ​

The color coordination in this series references Warhol’s, Marilyn silkscreen series. The colors and the sudo- silkscreen of the wig pictures were created by David Gamble using the Quantel Paintbox system over a series of weeks using complex techniques of reversing contrasts and mixing acid colors while keeping the original picture intact.

At times, Gamble superimposed colorful silkscreened depictions of Warhol in his house (seen above). Also pictured:

A print of this image of Warhol’s medicine cabinet, filled with prescription drugs and personal hygiene products, was included in the 2012 exhibition ‘Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years’ at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There is another print in the collection of The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.

Andy Warhol’s Medicine Cabinet is today an important historical document and artifact in its own right. Carefully composed and impeccably executed, Gamble’s image provides a rare opportunity to piece together fragments of Warhol’s notoriously reserved persona.

Andy Warhol’s Medicine Cabinet has been hailed the most original and intimate portrait of one of the most important artists in the history of art. Proof of its artistic value came in April 2018 as one print of the image almost trebled its original estimated value at a Sotheby’s auction. This demonstrates that Gamble’s photographs are exceptional artworks worthy of the most illustrious collections.

“There is something hypnotic about a stocked medicine cabinet. What a person keeps tells such a story. This David Gamble image of Warhol’s medicine cabinet tells more about that iconoclastic artist- his obsessions, his hoarding, his collecting, his beauty addiction- than any interview ever could.”Pat MCgrath – 2018
