ANDY WARHOL "HER RIGHT HAND" DRAWING, 1956
Andy Warhol (1928-1987) is arguably the most important American artist of the 20th century. He not only defined Pop Art but had an unparalleled influence on both visual art and culture in general.
During the 1950's Warhol established his reputation as an illustrator for many fashion businesses, especially advertisements and images for shoes and accessories. This period was characterized by his continued fascination with representing the body – both nude and adorned. The former, were his private drawings that he longed to exhibit in a gallery setting. The latter was the commissioned work that appeared in publications or in signage.
Most of the female imagery he created was for commissions, while his male imagery was the artwork he created "off the clock". This elegant drawing of a woman's hand was likely intended for a magazine or advertisement. This outstretched hand is waiting to be held or kissed or adorned with jewellery. Or perhaps it is demonstrating a new creme or nail polish. While it's intention remains a mystery and requires further scholarship, the result is another reminder that Warhol was a master draftsman.
To learn more about this era and these drawings, Caviar20 recommends Paul Marechal's "Andy Warhol: The Complete Commissioned Magazine Work"
As the Warhol market continues to accelerate, there are fewer examples of unique, original works in circulation.
