NEW YORK, Gagosian Gallery, ANDY WARHOL: DIAMOND DUST SHOES, September 23-October 30, pl. 3 (illustrated)
With the Diamond Dust Shoes Andy was able to combine some of his favorite themes- movie star glamour, high fashion, and money. The merger of women's shoes and diamond dust was a perfect fit...
Andy created the Diamond Dust Shoe paintings just as disco, lamé, and stilettos of Studio 54 had captured the imagination of the Manhattan glitterati. Andy, who had been in the vanguard of the New York club scene since the early 60's, once again reflected the times he was living in through his paintings.
