Andy Warhol Vintage 1989 Pop Art Lithograph Print Framed Paris Exhibition Poster " Ladies and Gentlemen ( Wilhelmina Ross ) " 1975
This Andy Warhol rare vintage 1989 Pop Art lithograph print custom framed Paris exhibition poster " Ladies and Gentlemen ( Wilhelmina Ross ) " 1975, is an incredibly special and unique piece to add to your collection.
The exhibition poster print is published by Drouot Montaigne Paris, printed in 1989 in an unnumbered limited edition on the occasion of the " Ladies and Gentlemen " exhibition held at Drouot Montaigne Paris and Bunkamara Tokyo, in November 1989. It features an artwork image of drag queen Wilhelmina Ross originally created by Warhol in 1975 titled " Ladies and Gentlemen ( Wilhelmina Ross )
In 1975 the liberal mindset of the time influenced the drag community to begin boldly embracing their sexuality. This atmosphere inspired Warhol to create a series of art works titled " Ladies and Gentlemen ". Bob Colacello, editor of Interview Magazine recruited a group of drag queens and trans-women from The Gilded Grape in Greenwich Village to become the subjects of the series. Warhol was undeniably fascinated by these performers who represented self-fashioned personas in a glamorous. exhibitionist manner. The result is a series of unusual and striking artworks that are provocative, ambiguous, and direct.
The Ladies and Gentlemen portfolio is one of Warhol's most unique works, although it employs many of his trademark methods.
Rather than using what he termed " readymades ", Warhol took hundreds of polaroids of the fourteen drag queens and trans-women Colacello recruited. This series is one of the earliest instances in which Warhol developed his own source images : instant photos from his trusty polaroid camera. This method later became integral to his process.
Wilhelmina Ross appears to have been Warhol's favorite model for the Ladies and Gentlemen suite of works. He made 73 paintings, based on seven polaroids, 29 drawings, and 5 collage portraits all of Ross. He also created five giant 10-foot canvases of her.
Ross was born Douglas Mitchell Hunter in Kansas City Missouri, moving to New York in 1970. Her name was a mix of the model agency Wilhelmina and Warhol's close friend Dianna Ross. After her Off-Off Broadway work she became a part of Jimmy Camicia's drag theater company Hot Peaches, soon becoming a leading star. In 1974, Ross had the incredible opportunity to pose for Warhol, becoming the primary model for his 1975 Ladies and Gentlemen series. She moved to Puerto Rico in 1974 where she lived for 10 years. When she learned she had AIDS, she returned home to her mother where she was nursed for the last two years of her life, cut too short by AIDS.
Andy Warhol (1928-1987) became a leading artist in the Pop Art movement of the 1960s.
His artistic career expanded from performance art, filmmaking, and fine art paintings. He graduated in 1949 with a BFA and moved to New York to pursue a career as a commercial artist where he won awards frequently for his unique style, using his own blotted line technique and rubber stamps to create his works.

- Vintage Poster Clinton Capitol Building Pop Art Hand Signed Peter Max LithographBy Peter MaxLocated in Surfside, FLArtist: Peter Max, German/American (1937 - ) From the President Bill Clinton Inaugural, An American Reunion, New Beginnings, Renewed Hope Poster depicting the 1993 inauguration of Bill Clinton at the Capitol Building. Hand signed in marker with dedication Year: 1993 Medium: Poster Size: 36 in. x 24 in Provenance: collection of Friede & Rubin L. Gorewitz Peter Max (born Peter Max Finkelstein, October 19, 1937) is a German-American artist known for using bright colors in his work. Works by Max are associated with the visual arts and culture of the 1960s, particularly psychedelic art and pop art. Max was born in Berlin, the son of German Jews, Salla and Jakob. They fled Berlin in 1938, settling in Shanghai, China, where they lived for the next ten years. In 1948, the family moved to Haifa, Israel, where they lived for several years. Peter attended school in Mount Carmel, but was often drawing instead of taking notes. His principal suggested to his parents that he be put in art lessons after school, and he began to study under Professor Hünik, a Viennese Expressionist. From Israel, the family continued moving westward and stopped in Paris for several months—an experience that Max said greatly influenced his appreciation for art. In their short time in Paris, Max's mother enrolled him in drawing classes at the Louvre, where he began to study Fauvism. After nine months in Paris, Max and his family made their final move, settling in Brooklyn, New York, USA. In 1956, Max began his formal art training at the Art Students League of New York in Manhattan, studying anatomy, figure drawing and composition under Frank J. Reilly who had studied at the League alongside Norman Rockwell. In 1962, Max started a small Manhattan arts studio known as "The Daly & Max Studio," with friend Tom Daly. Daly and Max were joined by friend and mentor Don Rubbo, and the three worked as a group on books and advertising for which they received industry recognition. Much of their work incorporated antique photographic images as elements of collage. Max's interest in astronomy contributed to his self-described "Cosmic '60s" period, which featured psychedelic, counter culture imagery. Max's art was popularized nationally through TV commercials such as his 1968 "un cola" ad for the soft drink 7 Up which helped drive sales of his art posters and other merchandise. In 1967, Max solidified his place as a counter cultural icon by designing the flyers for the second ever 'Be In', a political gathering of mainly hippies in New York's Central Park after the Easter parade on March 26, 1967. In 1970, many of Max's products and posters were featured in the exhibition "The World of Peter Max," which opened at the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum in San Francisco. The United States Postal Service commissioned Max to create the 10-cent postage stamp to commemorate the Expo '74 World's Fair in Spokane, Washington, and Max drew a colorful psychedelic scene with a "Cosmic Jumper" and a "Smiling Sage" against a backdrop of a cloud, sun rays and a ship at sea on the theme of "Preserve the Environment." According to The New York Times, "His DayGlo-inflected posters became wallpaper for the turn on, tune in, drop out generation." On July 4, 1976, Max began his Statue of Liberty series leading to his efforts with Chrysler CEO Lee Iacocca to help in the restoration of the statue. Max has been the official artist for many major events, including the 1994 World Cup, the Grammy Awards, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Super Bowl and others. In 2000, Max designed the paint scheme Dale Earnhardt...Category

We unconditionally guarantee the signature to be authentic. "Interview" is an American magazine founded in late 1969 by artist Andy Warhol and British journalist John Wilcock. The magazine, nicknamed "The Crystal Ball of Pop", features interviews with celebrities, artists, musicians, and creative thinkers. Interviews were usually unedited or edited in the eccentric fashion of Warhol's books and "The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again". Diane von Fürstenberg (1946-) is a Belgian fashion designer best known for her wrap dress. She initially rose to prominence in 1969 when she married into the princely German House of Fürstenberg, as the wife of Prince Egon von Fürstenberg. Biography: Andy Warhol ( born Andrew Warhola; August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987) was an American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture, and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became a renowned and sometimes controversial artist. The Andy Warhol Museum in his native city, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, holds an extensive permanent collection of art and archives. It is the largest museum in the United States dedicated to a single artist. Warhol's art used many types of media, including hand drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, silk screening, sculpture, film, and music. He was also a pioneer in computer-generated art using Amiga computers that were introduced in 1984, two years before his death. He founded Interview magazine and was the author of numerous books, including The Philosophy of Andy Warhol and Popism: The Warhol Sixties. He managed and produced The Velvet Underground, a rock band which had a strong influence on the evolution of punk rock music. He is also notable as a gay man who lived openly as such before the gay liberation movement. His studio, The Factory, was a well known gathering place that brought together distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights, Bohemian street people, Hollywood celebrities, and wealthy patrons. Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions, books, and feature and documentary films. He coined the widely used expression "15 minutes of fame". Many of his creations are very collectible and highly valuable. The highest price ever paid for a Warhol painting is US$105 million for a 1963 canvas titled "Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster)". A 2009 article in The Economist described Warhol as the "bellwether of the art market". Warhol's works include some of the most expensive paintings...Category
