クリスティーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (クリスティーズInstagram)「Andy Warhol's 'Ladies and Gentlemen' series was created at a time when the discourse on LGBT and women's rights was particularly prevalent.⠀ .⠀ In late 1974, the Italian art dealer Luciano Anselmino commissioned Warhol to paint more than 100 portraits of drag queens and took over 500 Polaroids between the summer of '74 and 1975.⠀ .⠀ The present work is a portrait of Wilhelmina Ross, who appeared in 73 of Warhol's portraits — more than any other drag queen from the series.⠀ .⠀ Warhol ventured to redefine perceptions of gender while calling attention to an important yet marginalized community, rendering virtually anonymous individuals as equally worthy of his time and attention to widely known celebrities of the age.⠀ .⠀ 'Drag queens are living testimony to the way women used to be to be', said Warhol. 'The way some people still want them to be, and the way some women will actually want to be. Drags are ambulatory archives of ideal movie star womanhood. They perform a documentary service, usually consecrating their lives to keeping the glittering alternative alive and available for (not-too-close) inspection.'⠀ .⠀ Andy Warhol (1928-1987), 'Ladies and Gentlemen (Wilhelmina Ross)'.
