Andy Warhol Rare Original c.1956 Reclining Male Nude Line Drawing

This original line drawing by Andy Warhol around 1956 comes directly from the artist’s estate. The sparse yet provocative contours of the figure, especially his lower torso, reveal Warhol's interest in the power of love, sex, and desire. In the 1950s, well before his rise to Pop art fame, Warhol created and exhibited drawings of men in pursuit of his career as a fine artist, a highly controversial and bold move at the time. This is a unique opportunity to purchase a drawing from Warhol’s personal collection.
