Andy Warhol Shoes (Deluxe Edition) (F & S. II 250) For Sale

Shoes is a portfolio of five screenprints with diamond dust from the portfolio Shoes Deluxe Edition portfolio by Andy Warhol. 

Warhol's choice to use a low-contrast palette of very dark grey for the background and black for the shoes ensures that the diamond dust's shimmer truly highlights the footwear, making them appear as if they are set against a starlit night sky. To fully grasp the artist's otherworldly treatment of these feminine accessories, one must look back at Warhol’s origins as a commercial illustrator.

Warhol’s decision to focus a portfolio on shoes reflects a long-standing affection for footwear that predates his commercial success. He began his career as a fashion illustrator, and in the mid-1950s, he was commissioned by the shoe manufacturer I.Miller to create illustrated ads for the Sunday edition of the New York Times. He mused after creating the Shoes portfolio: ‘I’m doing shoes because I’m going back to my roots. In fact, I think maybe I should do nothing but shoes from now on.’
