Hedges Projects announces the exclusive representation of the John Gould Collection of Andy Warhol photographs
Hedges Projects, the world’s leading buyer and seller of Andy Warhol photographs, announces exclusive representation of the John Gould Collection of Andy Warhol photographs.
The John Gould Collection of Andy Warhol Photographs includes hundreds of unique silver gelatin prints that Andy Warhol presented to John Gould during their relationship. After Gould’s death in 1986, due to AIDS-related complications, the collection passed to his family, through which the works are now available exclusively through Hedges Projects.
The most photographed subject in Andy Warhol’s career, Gould was born in Massachusetts into an East Coast founding family with roots in the Mayflower and is best known as a Paramount Pictures executive and Warhol’s ultimate partner. Warhol constantly photographed Gould when they were together and created a silkscreen image of him in 1981.
The John Gould Collection of Andy Warhol Portraits features dozens of heroic portraits of Gould along with other prominent subjects such as Mick Jagger, Bianca Jagger, and Robert Rauschenberg. The works in this collection depict events and activities from the Andy Warhol Diaries (edited by Pat Hackett) and the Netflix series of the same name. They are also housed in the Andy Warhol Photography Archive at Stanford University’s Cantor Arts Center.
The combination of Warhol’s diary and photographic archive allows scholars, students, curators, and collectors to investigate and contextualize these works in a unique way, providing insight into the artist and his subjects unmatched in any other medium. These works have never been commercially exhibited or offered for sale. A series of exhibitions are planned for venues in the United States and Europe in 2025.

That’s why we pour our passion and expertise into every fragrance we create, ensuring that each fragrance is a masterpiece in its own right.
