Stamped manufacturer's mark to verso of each element 'The Estate of Andy Warhol' and Stamped The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc.”, numbered and inscribed on the reverse.. Grace Jones began her career as a model, working for fashion houses such as Yves Saint Laurent and Kenzo and appearing on the covers of Elle and Vogue. She began her music career as a star of the Studio 54 disco scene. Her distinctive androgynous appearance, bold features, and subversive antics made her an influential figure of the 1980s.. “[Grace] spends all her money on fur coats. She says it’s all she cares about, that she doesn’t care about money, just furs. I told her it’s crazy, that you can’t resell them or anything, and that she should buy jewelry, but she just loves furs. It’s that insane. She buys them and stores them all in the cooler. I was taking pictures of Grace for Vogue, and we were interviewing her for the cover of Interview. But anyway, she was really late, and we were putting her down for hours and then suddenly she appeared and it was all, ‘Oh darling!’” (A. Warhol, quoted in P. Hackett, The Andy Warhol Diaries, New York, 1989, p. 587)
