Description
-
Warhol had a fascination with women’s shoes throughout his whole career. He had created shoe drawings as gifts for friends, and mounted an exhibition dedicated to the look of women's shoes. Warhol himself collected shoes, which were the same ones he would set against black backgrounds and cover with reflective “diamond dust" to create a piece such as this one. In particular he had an interest in shoes designed by Halston. Through his broader Shoe series he could best invoke the glitter and glitz of the fashionable celebrities who would wear the types of heels he collected.
