Lot Essay

"Warhol was aware that creativity was synonymous with the dance world. When he came to New York, he lived in a communal apartment that included at least two male dancers and two female dancers. His drawings in this period are not caricature; they refer to personalities who took part in the amazingly diverse growth of American dance." (A. Kisselfogg, Warhol and Dance, exh. cat., Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Paris, 2010, p. 7)
