As social media platforms continue to propagate the artist &#8216;brand&#8217;, Warhol&#8217;s own manner of self-promotion, his use of &#8216;snapshot&#8217; photography and his portrayal of transient celebrity is intriguingly prophetic, while the ten, electrifying, portraits of Endangered Species chime poignantly with the most pressing global conversations of today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/images\/warhol-halycon-04.jpg\" alt=\"Andy Warhol Unseen at the Halycon Gallery, New Bond Street, London\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Andy Warhol: \u2018<\/strong>If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface: of my paintings and films and me, and there I am.
