Andy Warhol (American, 1928-1987) Attributed: Shoes and Legs, ink and watercolor, verso stamped of Arthur Tooth Gallery, London, England.

Andrew Warhola 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, celebrity culture, and advertising that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, including painting, silkscreening, photography, film, and sculpture.

NOTE: About the Arthur Tooth Gallery -- Tooth established the gallery for his son, Arthur Tooth (1828–1900). The gallery remained in the Tooth family until its closure circa 1976, after the death of Dudley Tooth (Charles' great-grandson). Arthur Tooth and Sons, while a relatively small business, established a major presence in the commercial art market from the 1870s onwards. <br
Initially, the gallery focused on paintings by 18th and 19th century British artists, but expanded in the 1880s to include contemporary paintings and the occasional works by Old Masters. Rather than selling well-known artworks, Arthur Tooth and Sons concentrated on a steady stream of popular contemporary artists and commodity-like artworks. Operating as a kind of patron or agent for these artists, Tooth commissioned works, which were also reproduced in photogravures. The gallery's stock was selected on the notion that the "aura" of more established art would rub off on and validate newer products.<br
In the mid 1920s, Dudley Tooth (1896-1972) took up leadership of Arthur Tooth and Sons and rebranded the gallery, expanding within the pool of contemporary artists. The gallery closed in the mid 1970s.
