A group of 9 film stills from Warhol's experimental film "Flesh," featuring Joe Dallesandro. Ferrotyped silver prints (9), the images measuring approximately 190.5x209.6 and 174.6x238.1 mm.; 7 1/2x8 1/4 and 6 7/8x9 3/8 inches, and the reverse, the sheets slightly larger, 5 with the movie title and Warhol and Dallesandro's credit, on recto. 1968.
Warhol began making films in 1963. The 1968 production of Flesh was conceived and filmed during Warhol's gunshot wound recovery. The film gained attention when it was confiscated by British police for an obscenity charge at Open Space theatre in London during one of its 1970s showings.
