Description from the seller
Andy WARHOL
"TORSOS"
Old Prisons, Venice, 1977
Original, autographed in black marker poster
litho-offset
On paper: 99.4 x 68.3 cm (39.13 x 26.89 inches)
Very fine condition never framed
The work is shipped with invoice and certificate of authenticity and provenance
Thanks to the mediation of Warhol's great friend and collector Attilio Codognato, the Ravagnan Gallery in Venice organized a major exhibition entitled "Torsos" in September 1977. The exhibition was hosted in the prestigious historic Palazzo delle Prigioni and opened on September 16, 1977. Andy Warhol exhibited his famous series of paintings and drawings, "Torsos," inspired by the statues in Rome's Olympic Stadium and his New York acquaintances. The subjects focus on the area between the waist and the thighs. The models assume poses reminiscent of ancient statuary and art classics. In October of the same year, the exhibition traveled to Paris, to the legendary Ace Gallery space inside the Grand Palais.
