Self Portrait
Resting Boy, 1955
Andy Warhol was, of course, an extraordinarily famous artist who was one of the first people to become his own brand in the 1980's. He was acutely aware of the relationship between art and money.
This selection of drawings are a compilation of drawings of boys. Warhol was queer and because of social pressure, his sexuality remained largely, though poorly, hidden.
There was a book published by TASCHEN in 2020 called Andy Warhole: Love Sex and Desire. Drawings (1950-1962), which includes 300 drawings of boys and men.
