Andy Warhol was fascinated by celebrities. Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley are some of the many celebrities who appear in his work. But the characters in his "Ladies and Gentlemen" series remained anonymous for decades, until researchers began to uncover their names and identities in 2014. Warhol was commissioned by an art dealer named Luciano Anselmino, who suggested a series of "impersonal and anonymous" photographs of "transvestites" and devised the theatrical title "Ladies and Gentlemen". The subjects were recruited by Warhol's friends, many of them from the Gilded Grape, a bar on Manhattan's 8th Avenue. It was a popular hangout for black and Latina trans women and drag queens in New York. It was close to Warhol's studio, The Factory. The person portrayed in the present work could be Helen/Harry Morales. Morales signed one of his Polaroids as Helen Morales and another as Harry Morales. Corey Tippin met Morales at the Gilded Grape. Warhol liked Morales's session so much that he asked him to come back the next day, where he appeared without the bouffant wig. Warhol painted 31 pictures of Morales and took 42 Polaroids.
Warhol made a number of screen-printed images representative of advertising, media and film glamour from photographs of celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe. Being an icon of all the symbols of glamour and fatalism, Warhol exacerbated these symbols through the expressive force of the silkscreen technique: the skilful play of colours used and the strength of the strokes that silkscreen printing gives, achieve a timeless and inexhaustible icon. Andrew Warhola, commonly known as Andy Warhol, was an American visual artist, filmmaker and music producer who played a crucial role in the birth and development of pop art. Considered in his time a guru of modernity, Warhol was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. He is now represented in the world's leading contemporary art museums, including MoMA, the Metropolitan and Guggenheim in New York, the Fukoka Museum in Japan, the Kunstmuseum in Basel, the National Museum of 21st Century Art in Rome, MUMOK in Vienna, SMAK in Ghent and the Tate Gallery in London, as well as in the museums that bear his name in Pittsburgh and Medzilaborce (Slovakia).
