Two of the iconic artist's series, 'Sex Parts and Torsos' and 'Ladies & Gentlemen', are now on view on the Fotografiska site.
Sex Parts and Torsos-- but then, tasteful? It came about when a man started to boast about the size of his penis to Andy Warhol in the 70s, much to the artist's amusement. Warhol then did the only thing that is right: he pulled out his camera, took some photos, to then put them into a storage box to be long forgotten. Later, when they resurfaced, they would go on to inform some of the artist’s most explicit works.
. According to the museum, the series was originally commissioned by the Italian art dealer, Luciano Anselmino, in 1974. Under Warhol’s direction, Bob Colacello, editor ofmagazine, recruited models from The Gilded Grape in Greenwich village, a popular bar for the trans and drag queen community of colour. You can tell by the final result that Warhol was infatuated with these performers, who represented these self-fashioned personas in a glamorous, exhibitionist manner.
