Note du spécialiste

In 1975 Warhol sent his friend Bob Colacello to the club The Gilded Grape in search of models to pose for him. The drag queen performers were paid $50 for the project and were never told until they arrived at the Factory that their patron was Warhol. The resulting series of exuberant portraits was entitled Ladies and Gentlemen.
