Andy Warhol's Little Red Book is a portfolio of 20 Polaroid images featuring Neke Carson. Warhol used Polaroid images throughout his career, both as studies for paintings and prints as well as singular works of art. Using a camera called "Big Shot," Warhol created flat and artificially-lit images that helped to transform the way celebrity and identity were created in the postmodern world.
