Footnote
Soon after the death of Andy Warhol, British-American artist and photographer David Gamble was permitted access to his Manhattan home to photograph Warhol's art work, furniture and personal effects. The project was commissioned by Sotheby’s as part of the publicity for their auction of Warhol's property. Ten years later, in January 1998, an exhibition of Gamble’s collection of the resultant photographs was held at London’s Groucho Club.
Adplates, a printing company in east London at the time, offered Gamble its facilities, and the photographer decided to superimpose a silk-screen spectre of Warhol upon some of the captured scenes. Working with Adplates' technicians using a Quantel Paintbox computer system, the photographer conjured up such images.
