Description
Andy Warhol (1928-1987)Attributed: Gold Evening Shoe, ink drawing on paper, signed. Original mixed media drawing, watercolor, gold metallic paint, and black ink. Hinge remnants on reverse from previous framing, otherwise very good condition. No apparent fading. Currently unframed.
This extremely unique piece reveals Warhol's ongoing preoccupation with his early quirky illustrations of shoes (In 1955 he was commissioned to produce weekly ads for shoe brand I Miller to run in the New York Times.)
Dimensions: 8x10.5 in. paper
Provenance: Private Collection, Washington State. Acquired by the previous owner's father from his friend, Arthur Elrod (Beverly Hills/Palm Springs), circa 1970 or earlier. [Arthur Elrod was born in Georgia, studied at Chouinard Art School in Los Angeles, then went to work in San Francisco at W & J Sloane, where he met Harold Broderick. In 1954 Elrod and Broderick relocated from Beverly Hills to Palm Springs and opened Arthur Elrod Associates on Palm Canyon Drive, a design studio and furniture and fabric showroom. Elrod became the design king of the desert. He did second houses, third houses, spec houses, country clubs, experimental houses, and hotels.]
