Christie’s auction house is celebrating Pride month with collection of Andy Warhol’s more gay-oriented items for sale.
The collection, entitled “Andy’s Randy Summer,” includes more than 100 photos, prints and drawings obtained directly from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Some of the pieces have never been shown to the public until now.
“Throughout his career, Warhol depicted male nudes through photography or drawing, often using gay underground culture as his backdrop. His visual explorations of the complexity of sexuality and desire chronicle the momentous changes within the gay community in the late 20th century, when many young men were flocking to urban centers such as New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans from their suburban and rural hometowns,” said Christie’s in a statement.
