Lot 480 | Andy Warhol. Five Shoes. Circa 1955
Estimate value
€ 16 000 – 20 000
Nach seinem Collegeabschluss zieht der junge Andy Warhol nach New York, wo er als Modeillustrator zu arbeiten beginnt. Warhol erhält Aufträge der Zeitschriften "Glamour", "Harper's Bazaar", "Vogue" aber auch der New York Times. In diesem hybriden Stadium zwischen Mode und Werbung entwickelt Warhol seine Idee der Pop Art. Mitte der 1950er Jahre beauftragt ihn die Firma I. Miller in New York, mit den Werbeanzeigen für ihre Schuhkollektion. Es enstehen etliche Zeichnungen und Aquarelle zu dem Thema "Shoes", das exemplarisch für Warhols frühe Schaffenszeit steht. "Andy's Schuhe waren echte Schuhe: sie waren auch nicht wie ein Foto von Schuhen oder sahen so aus, wie Leute den perfekten Schuh zeichnen würden. Es machte mehr Spaß, seine Schuhe zu betrachten (...) sie waren ein wundervolles Kunstwerk und vollkommen anders, niemand arbeitete in diesem Stil" (zit. nach P. Pallazzo, in: G. Moore, The Art Directors, Success is a Job in New York, Ausst. Kat. Grey Art Gallery, New York 1989, S. 46)
