Andy Warhol Rare Original 1950s Seated Male Line Drawing 

This original drawing created by Andy Warhol in the 1950s comes directly from the artist’s estate. This evocative sketch is featured in the beautiful book Andy Warhol. Love, Sex and Desire. Drawings 1950-1962, published by TASCHEN. The rapid lines, tender hearts and the sitter's pose masterfully render a sense of longing. 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 in New York City. This is a unique opportunity to purchase a drawing from Warhol’s personal collection.
