Torso (Double) is a screenprint by Andy Warhol from 1982 that stands as a daring exploration of the male body. This remarkable screenprint is part of the Torso series, one of two groundbreaking projects initiated by Warhol in the late 1970s, the other being the Sex Parts series. While the Torso works focused on classical nude aesthetics and were intended for museum exhibitions, the Sex Parts prints were more audacious, blurring the line between art and pornography. Both originated from a collection of erotic polaroids taken by Warhol. When Warhol’s former assistant, Bob Colacello, inquired about how to address questions regarding the explicit images in Warhol’s office, Warhol playfully replied, “Just tell them it’s art, Bob. They’re landscapes.”
