Andy Warhol would have been 85 today. The Art Institute blog is paying fitting tribute with a series of animated GIFs constructed from latter-era Warhol Polaroids. Oddly enough, they don't seem strange at all but perhaps a format that Warhol, who liked to play with the shifting gaze and recognized that modern life produced short bursts of fame, might have appreciated.
