This is what most people who know the Tests imagine them to be: Footage of one gorgeous or compelling or (soon-to-be-)famous person, seen staring impassively, revealingly into Warhol’s camera for a solid four minutes, says Blake Gopnik, The Daily Beast art critic, of Andy Warhols Screen Test of Lou Reed. This particular Test could almost be an ad for Reed, the new-minted rock star ... Reed comes across as the archetypal teen idol, a true Face in the Mod sense of the word. Learn more about Warhols private creation in Blakes fifth and final review of our exhibition Andy Warhols Screen Tests. Come see all 20 of the 4-minute films for yourself, on view at the RISD Museum through May 11. risdmuseum.org/notes/andy_warhols_screen_tests Image: Andy Warhol, Screen Test: Lou Reed (1966), 16mm film, black and white, silent, 4 minutes at 16 frames per second. © 2013 The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, PA, a museum of Carnegie Institute.
