BEFORE THEY WERE FAMOUS AT SCOPE MIAMI/2
*Throughout the show at MIA, the expanded collection of Kennedy’s work will be on view at the KIWI Project Space (48 NW 29th Street, Wynwood), its permanent home.
About the Exhibition:

‘Before They Were Famous: Behind the Lens of William John Kennedy’ was conceived as a one-year international tour of Kennedy’s collection of images featuring historic early photographs of Warhol and Indiana, along with multi-city screenings of the documentary “Full Circle: Before They Were Famous.”  The 40-minute film, starring William John Kennedy, Robert Indiana, Ultra Violet, Taylor Mead and others, chronicles the journey of Kennedy’s images as they were brought to public view.
