Not many people know this, but he was supposed to follow these up with "Has A Hard-on For Stephen Sondheim" and "Does The Best He Can With Jerry Herman," I don't know whether you know that, I mean, do you know that?

Bobby Short
Though he remembered going with the artist to take the pictures, it turns out Bobby Short never knew Andy Warhol used the images to make some of his earliest photobooth portrait paintings. They were discovered in Warhol's studio after his death. Maybe he thought they were a little janky, even for a photobooth portrait. Now three of the nine are for sale at Phillips in May 2024. To my knowledge, the drawing Warhol made of Short's feet has not surfaced.
images: three Warhol paintings of Bobby Short on light blue, not light blue, and green backgrounds, 1963, via Phillips, and one of the three known photobooth prints Warhol and Short made, this one with Warhol's head photobombing the first frame.
Something that has made me happy this summer has been digging into the music of Bobby Short. Enjoy this picture of him with Nell Carter.
