Karen Bystedt was born in Israel,but lived in London and California as a child.In 1982,as a photography (攝影) student at New York University,she was photographing male models for a book when she came across an ad featuring Andy Warhol,a very famous artist.She thought it would be really great to put him in her book.
So she called Andy Warhol at his studio in Union Square and asked if she could photograph him.
Two weeks later,Bystedt took a rented Hasselblad camera and lights to Warhol's famed "Factory" on 14th street.She ended up taking 36 pictures,and published two in her book,Not Just Another Pretty Face,published in 1983.Warhol came to its launch(發(fā)行) party-and that was the last time she saw him.
A few years later,she packed the portraits in a box and moved to Los Angeles.But after she'd gotten settled,she couldn't find them.She couldn't remember whether she had given the photos away or just left them in some forgotten storage unit.Either way,she thought they were lost forever.
In 2011,Bystedt became determined to find the missing films(底片).She spent two weeks going through two old garages,where she had put a bunch of belongings decades before.In a cardboard box,she found ten of the original films,covered in dust.She and a friend spent four months digitizing and cleaning the images up,pixel(像素) by pixel.
Bystedt was not content to merely publish the unseen photos.She invited contemporary artists to paint over and around her Warhol pictures,breathing new life into her old work.So she began reaching out to artists,seeing if they would be interested in putting their own stamp on the pictures.
The responses were overwhelming.Bystedt's new exhibit,"The Lost Warhols",opened on May 1,2018 at 178 Sixth Avenue in Soho,New York,included 66 different interpretations of her portraits from 34 artists.

2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
