拍品信息
Ladies and Gentleman - Luciano Anselmino In 1975, Warhol produced a new series that featured anonymous black and Latino drag queens and trans women. Italian art dealer Luciano Anselmino commissioned the paintings and came up with the title "Ladies and Gentlemen". Luciano Anselmino (1943-1979) was a dazzling personality of the Italian art scene, who had undeservedly fallen into oblivion. He was an important art dealer in Turin, a furioso of the art scene between Rome and Milan in the 1960s and 1970s. Anselmino died under mysterious circumstances in the bathtub of his villa in Milan at the age of just 36. In May 1968, Luciano Anselmino opened an art gallery in Turin, the Galleria Il Fauno. The gallery was specialized in Surrealism and Pop-art, and exhibited artists such as Man Ray, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Allen Jones and, of course, Andy Warhol. Anselmino was not only a point of contact for Warhol in Italy, but also the art dealer of aforementioned Man Ray, whom Warhol admired throughout his life. In 1973, Anselmino arranged for the two artists to meet in Paris. Not only the portrait series of Man Ray was created on the initiative of the Italian art dealer, but also the groundbreaking series "Ladies and Gentleman". Anselmino had a far-sighted idea and suggested Warhol to eternalize faces of people outside the dazzling world of the rich and beautiful of New York society. Warhol's assistants Bob Colacello, Ronnie Cutrone, and Corey Tippin recruited 14 drag queens from nightclubs in New York's Greenwich Village, which Warhol photographed in his Factory. Around 500 photographs form the basis of the series, which, in addition to 268 paintings, also includes drawings, collages and prints. The portraits celebrate this minority group in Warhol’s characteristic colors and eccentric joie de vivre. The result is a series of works that deviate from the original proposal, instead it pays homage to every single drag queen and transgender woman. "In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes" The occupation with the concept of the portrait runs through the artist’s entire oeuvre, however, it culminated in the commissioned portraits of his late creative period. In order to support his costly lifestyle, the portraits were prioritized. Regardless of the actual projects he was working on, there were always several portraits in production in a corner of his loft. He offered wealthy clients the opportunity to be included in his pantheon of well-known personalities and celebrities, according to his famous saying "in the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes", to achieve fame simply by being the subject of a typical Warhol portrait. Production was always preceded by a lengthy photo shoot, in which he created scores of Polaroids that provided the basis. The result is a portrait characteristic of Warhol, based on photography and created with acrylic paint and silk-screen ink. Similar to other works of the period, Warhol added expressive brushstrokes and gestural finger painting to the print to explore the relationship between the silkscreen layer and the painted background. While the black silkscreen provides the frame, the paint, which the artist also applied with his fingers, adds the pictorial element to the composition. For his commissioned works, Andy Warhol took his clients’ wishes into account, and he also considered every art collector’s desire to own a unique piece. The number of canvases with the same motif became smaller, the variations more diverse. Four portraits of Anselmino were made, all of which were still in his possession at the time of his untimely death. The provenance is only known for the portrait offered here, the three other portraits are considered lost. [SM]

• Anselmino was one of the 1970s most dazzling art market personalities.
• Anselmino commissioned Warhol with the seminal series "Ladies and Gentleman".
• One of four portraits of the art dealer that were made in 1974, of which no one has ever been offered on the international auction market (source: artprice.com).
• Warhol puts silkscreen printing at eye level with painting - with the gestural finger painting, Warhol adds another level of expression.
• Since May 9, 2022, Andy Warhol's painting "Shot sage blue Marilyn" is the most expensive 20th century artwork.
Andy Warhol - Superstar Andy Warhol is one of the biggest stars of the international auction market, and his works usually guarantee lengthy bidding wars. Earlier this year, Christie's auctioned the painting "Shot sage blue Marilyn" for €160,743,500 million, making it the most expensive 20th-century work of art ever sold at auction. With the bid, Andy Warhol pushed Pablo Picasso and Jean-Michel Basquiat down a place in the auction ranking. Warhol was a radical and visionary pop artist who, in an age of immense social, political and technological change, had a new idea of what art could be. A gay man growing up at a time when sex between men was illegal in the United States, Warhol joined New York's queer community of designers, poets, dancers and artists. In the 1950s and 1960s, he became the king of the New York avant-garde and one of the most important and iconic artists of the 20th century. By the 1970s, Warhol had become an international celebrity himself. He was photographed regularly and was a paparazzi himself, when he shot photographs of celebrities such as Grace Jones and Debbie Harry at venues like Studio 54. Warhol went out out every night, which he once described as his "social sickness". This way Warhol not only popularized his work, but also strengthened his distinctive public identity. Some US art critics have called his social gatherings and the lucrative business model of making portraits of the rich and powerful a "sellout". However, these activities also helped to fund his more experimental art projects.
