fashion. After establishing a friendship with Robert Indiana and taking some of the first 
important close-up images of him in his studio  Kennedy went on to work in a similarly creative
way with Warhol. These striking images of the young Warhol and Indiana were lost for nearly 50
years before being rediscovered. They were immediately recognised as important documents by the
Warhol Museum and by Robert Indiana  and presented in theBefore they were Famous exhibition 
which travelled to London and New York. The story of the re-discovery of these photographs was
made into an acclaimed documentary in 2010 - Full Circle: Before They Were Famous  Documentary

Robert Indianawill be the first of William John Kennedy's books devoted solely to the time he
spent with Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana. The book features pictures of both artists as well
as images of Taylor Mead  UltraViolet and other members of Warhol's circle.
