Specialist note

“With Diamond Dust Shoes, Andy was able to combine some of his favorite themes — movie star glamour, high fashion, and money. The merger of women’s shoes and diamond dust was a perfect fit.”
(V. Fremont, Andy Warhol: Diamond Dust Shoes Paintings, exh. cat., Gagosian Gallery, New York, 1999, p. 8).
