From November 2025 to September 2026, a new work from the Suñol Soler Collection will be on display at IDIBAPS Clínic Barcelona, organised by the Fundació Suñol and the Fundació Glòria Soler as part of the Art and Science collaboration project. It is a photograph from the Altered Image series, in which photographer Christopher Makos captures a more personal side of Andy Warhol.
Photographer Christopher Makos’ series “Altered Image” shows us the most intimate version of his friend Andy Warhol through photographs that combine the famous pop artist’s obsession about his image with the revelation of his most vulnerable side, revealing his most captivating gaze. Andy Warhol is presented here beautiful and delicate, with a changing identity that blurs gender boundaries, celebrating fluidity and ambiguity in an artistic context far ahead of its time, anticipating current debates on identity, image and performativity.
Andy Warhol showed a continuous curiosity about science and medicine, heightened by his own health problems. Through medical images and clinical references, he explored the fragility of the body from an artistic and analytical perspective, just as he did with celebrities or consumer products.
The initiative to exhibit artworks at IDIBAPS is part of the “Art & Science” project, promoted by Hospital Clínic Barcelona, IDIBAPS, the Suñol Foundation and the Glòria Soler Foundation, which aims to bring both disciplines closer together and allow art to enter the spaces where research is carried out, generating a new social impact.
The first action of the agreement was the loan of “Trodotz” by Zush/Evru, followed by “Untitled” by Eva Lootz, “Foot and Varnish” by Antoni Tàpies, and “Servicio secreto” by Eduardo Arroyo.
The artwork is part of the presentation activities for the documentary “Warhol&Vijande. More than Guns, Knives and Crosses”, produced by the Suñol Soler Collection, which revisits the figure of the gallerist Fernando Vijande, essential in shaping the Josep Suñol Soler collection, and who in 1983 brought Andy Warhol to Spain for the first time, accompanied by his close collaborator Christopher Makos.
