This lot consists of a mixed media (ink and watercolor) drawing on paper, rendered in the modern style of pop artist Andy Warhol (American, 1928-1987). This Pop Art image depicts a orange ladies shoe with green vines and maroon flowers, very similar to a print Warhol designed while working for the "I Miller Shoe Company" in the 1950's. Hand inscription below the shoe reads "Shoe of the evening, beautiful shoe" and "Andy Warhol" in the lower right. This unframed piece measures approximately 8.25" x 11.75".

Andy Warhol born Andrew Warhola; August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987) was an American artist, director and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, including painting, silkscreening, photography, film, and sculpture. Some of his best known works include the silkscreen paintings Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) and Marilyn Diptych (1962), the experimental film Chelsea Girls (1966), and the multimedia events known as the Exploding Plastic Inevitable (1966–67).
