Label TextThis is a rare example of a figure drawing by Andy Warhol. Local Fayetteville resident Martha Sutherland attended the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the late 1940s, where the young Warhol was one of her classmates. “We had a class exercise called ‘Head and Hands’; subject and medium of our choice,” she recalls. “After the class-wide critiques, I asked Andy if I could buy his painting, and he sold it to me for thirty-five dollars. It hung over our bed for...sixty or seventy years.”

Este es un raro ejemplo de un dibujo de figura realizado por Andy Warhol. Martha Sutherland, residente local de Fayetteville, asistió al Instituto Tecnológico Carnegie de Pittsburgh, Pensilvania, a finales de la década de 1940, donde el joven Warhol era uno de sus compañeros de clase. “Teníamos un ejercicio en clase llamado ‘Cabeza y manos’; el tema y el medio eran de nuestra elección”, recuerda. “Después de las críticas de toda la clase, le pregunté a Andy si podía comprar su pintura, y me la vendió por treinta y cinco dólares. Estuvo colgada sobre nuestra cama durante... sesenta o setenta años”.
