Celebrity mugshots, Warholized: "Hollywood Most Wanted," a series of works on paper by Rachel Schmeidler. Link to hollywoodmostwanted.com.

Shown above, Jane Fonda, busted for vitamins. Below, CNN's Larry King, during a 1971 arrest on grand larceny charges.

Others in the glam-perp lineup: Lenny Bruce (1961, obscenity), Dennis Hopper (1975, traffic accident in Taos), Michael Jackson (2003, take a guess), Marilyn Manson (grinding against the head of a security guard during a July 2001 concert), and Elvis (ok, he *requested* his mug shot be taken while visiting FBI headquarters in DC, when he was visiting president Nixon.)

For LA-based readers: the series is on display at Hollywood’s Arclight Cinemas through June 21st 2007.
