Shoes (F&S II.255), created in 1980, reflects Andy Warhol’s longstanding fascination with fashion, glamour, and the symbolic power of objects. This edition belongs to a late-career series in which Warhol revisited the subject of women’s footwear—imagery he first explored in the 1950s during his time as a commercial illustrator for fashion magazines and department stores.

 

In the 1980s, Warhol returned to the motif not as advertisement, but as iconography. The shoe, for Warhol, was both personal and symbolic—representing status, aspiration, and transformation. This print was produced alongside his Diamond Dust Shoes paintings, and though this particular work does not feature diamond dust, it shares the same conceptual DNA: repetition, surface appeal, and glamour tied to cultural memory.

 

Warhol’s use of silkscreen allowed for mechanical precision and seriality, while the composition itself elevates the commonplace into the realm of art. Rather than present a single object, Warhol arranges an overlapping array, transforming the shoes into a pattern that simultaneously celebrates and flattens their individuality—an approach central to his understanding of image culture.

 

Shoes (F&S II.255) is offered by Coskun Fine Art in excellent condition, with full authentication and provenance available upon request. A quintessential late Warhol edition, it remains highly collectable for its combination of personal reference and Pop iconography.
