About the Item

Andy Warhol's Wig, Glasses, Watch and Money East 66th St NYC 1987 Actual wig, glasses and Longines 1930 Aviator watch of Andy Warhol "Truman Capote said that Andy Warhol was a sphinx without a secret. I love that Andy wore a wonderful disguise: the wig and glasses. I don't think there is a photo without him wearing them. But perhaps he walked around New York without them. Nobody would have known. Not even his friends. So I photographed the wig and glasses in his house next to his Egyptian figures of the afterlife, Ramses and Isis." - David Gamble Available Sizes: 24 x 20 inches Edition size: 10 Archival Pigment Print on Paper 48" x 40" Edition Size: 5 Archival Pigment Print on Paper 24 x 20 inches Edition size: 10 Dye sublimation on Aluminum 48" x 40" Edition Size: 5 Dye sublimation on Aluminum Framing options available. Please inquire. Signed, titled, dated, and annotated on the reverse. The wig series consists of four images representing Warhol’s beliefs in Life and Death. The two statuettes of Ramses and Isis, the God of external existence and the God of money, and the watch representing material possession and Time. Each image is slightly different in content. About the artist: David Gamble is a multidisciplinary artist from London, now based in New Orleans. His body of work consists of paintings, works on paper, and photographs, all of which have been exhibited globally. Throughout the 1980s and '90s, Gamble worked as one of the foremost international editorial photographers for publications such as The Observer, The Independent, LIFE, Fortune, The New Yorker, Newsweek, Paris Match, The Sunday Times, and many more. Over his decades-long career spanning the editorial, journalistic, and fine art realms, Gamble has photographed such illustrious figures as Stephen Hawking and the Dalai Lama with several of his portraits included in the permanent collections of the National Portrait Gallery in London and the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. In 1987, Gamble won the Kodak Award for Best Photographer in Europe as well as a World Press Photo Award in 1988 for his portrait of Stephen Hawking, which was featured as the notable cover of Hawking’s A Brief History of Time. In 1988 Sotheby’s New York hosted one of the most talked-about auctions of the decade, the sale of the Estate of Andy Warhol. In addition to paintings and sculpture, some of the most hotly sought- after items were Warhol’s personal effects, including, décor, clothing, and even his 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. The goal of the sale was to raise funds for the then fledgling Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Soon after Warhol’s death photographer David Gamble was permitted access to Warhol’s East 66th street House, Factory and Warehouse. There, he captured the placement of Warhol’s belongings as the artist had lived with them over the years. Rather than simply documenting the space, Gamble’s careful still-lifes capture the humanity and fierce individuality of the artist.
