WJR benefits as Warhol photos go on show in London

articlemain

Images by the American photographer William John Kennedy will be seen by the public thanks to Jewish businessman Neil Bookatz.

He discovered the photos discarded in a box for 40 years. The collection includes a shot of artist Andy Warhol displaying his famous portrait of Marilyn Monroe.

An exhibition of the images, called Warhol in London: Behind the Lens of William John Kennedy, has just gone on show at the KIWI Arts Group @ A&D Gallery in Chiltern Street, Marylebone.

Mr Bookatz, a long-time supporter of World Jewish Relief, has given the charity a limited edition print of the Warhol/Monroe photo worth £12,000.
