Exhibit: Warhol Presents

Warhol Presents highlights the early commercial career of Andy Warhol, whose whimsical drawings from the 1950s created fantasies that marketed fashion and glamour through evocation. Warhol’s penchant for combining art and advertisement quickly made him one of the most well known illustrators of women’s fashion in New York. His talent was sought out by fashion publication giants, including Glamour, Mademoiselle, Vogue, McCall’s and Harper’s Bazaar; and women’s footwear designer and retailer, I. Miller Shoe Company. The exhibition presents eighteen of Warhol’s rarely seen shoe illustrations including Fantasy Shoes (ca. 1956), a whimsical and humorous take on women’s footwear design. Exhibited also are drawings of women’s accessories and fashion figures, including Female Fashion Figure (1950s); a vibrant depiction of a chic model alongside an equally stylish car.

Warhol’s unique well-wrought line also translated to commissions of large-scale window displays for New York stores, including Bonwit Teller and Tiffany’s. One example of the artist’s window displays is featured in this exhibition in the illustrated reproduction, Miss Dior (1950s); and a 1997 three-dimensional re-creation of Warhol’s 1957 Bonwit Teller Window Display, which includes glass perfume bottles and colorful reproduction of a window display screen. Warhol’s early drawings and interest in art, identity and consumerism informed his later pop-icon status, when product and identity literally became his art, and was used to fuel his experimental factory era films.

This exhibition is curated by Natalie Sanderson, Curator of Education at the University Art Museum, University of California, Santa Barbara. The original exhibition, Andy Warhol Presents, was first exhibited at the University Art Museum in 2007.
