This print is not signed but it is stamped by the Andy Warhol Foundation and the Andy Warhol Estate on verso; signed by the executor of Warhol’s estate on verso. Printed by Rupert Jasen Smith, New York.
For this rare print of two young men in a rather provocative pose Andy Warhol used a photograph taken in preparation of his poster for Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s film Querelle. In 1982 Warhol was commissioned by the German film director Rainer Fassbinder, to design a poster for his adaptation of Jean Genet’s classic novel, ‘Querelle’. The story of a sailor’s journey into the sexual underworld of a French port appealed to Warhol’s cinematic sensibilities and could easily have been one of his own productions (he had started making films in the 1960s).
