How James Hedges Assembled the World's Largest Private Collection of Andy Warhol Photographs
This summer, James Hedges IV will present “Voyages with Warhol,” his collection of more than 40 photographs by Andy Warhol, at the Château La Coste in Provence. Hedges has passionately collected photography since his early 20s, but has become known for his specialized focus on Warhol. Over the past 30 years, he has acquired the largest private collection of photographs by the American Pop art icon in the world. Hedges has been a supporter of institutions including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Tate Gallery in London. He also runs his own gallery, Hedges Projects, in Santa Monica and lives with his partner, Will Speck, in Rustic Canyon.
