In collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, New York, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac presents an exhibition of drawings never before shown by
Andy Warhol. These 60 drawings date from the early 1950s when he first came to New York and was spending a great deal of time in the dance world.
Warhol and Dance explores the cultural milieu that welcomed the artist and provided him with his first "scene" to record with what has become his individualistic style of portraiture, ink drawings on Manila paper.
Among these works, there are figures from both the worlds of emerging modern dance like
Charles Weidman, John Butler, Paul Draper, as well as ballet personalities like
Jacques d'Amboise,
Karel Shook and
Alexandra Danilova. Clearly, Warhol was interested in all forms of dance, including ethnic performance styles, as the cast of characters also included Nala Najan, Mesita, Mara and the Cambodian Dancers.
To accompany the exhibition Anna Kisselgoff, former Chief Dance Critic of the New York Times, provides an insight into the dance world of this time, and the characters and personalities that Warhol drew.
