In 1975 Warhol made a series of portraits of New York transvestites called "Ladies and Gentlemen". Bob Colacello, in charge of recruiting the models, found most of them at "The Gilded Grape" club, sending them to "The Factory" to be immortalised by the master of artpop. Following the usual procedure for his portraits, Warhol screen-printed the Polaroid photographs on canvas and then hand-painted them using polymer paint. He deployed a bright, feminine palette of reds, pinks, purples and yellows, resulting in an accentuated glamorous character to the figures. During September and October 1997 the prestigious Gagosian Gallery in New York devoted an exhibition to "Ladies and Gentlemen". In the 1970s in New York, the gay and drag community began to boldly embrace their sexuality. This atmosphere inspired Warhol to create this series of 10 silkscreen prints entitled Ladies and Gentlemen. The idea for the series originally came from art dealer Luciano Anselmino.
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 most important contemporary art museums, including MoMA, the Metropolitan and Guggenheim in New York, Fukoka 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).
