Description: Andy Warhol: Torsos, Ace Gallery Grand Palais-Paris, 1977. Original poster produced on the occasion of Warhol's exhibition Torsos , Ace Gallery at the Grand Palais, Paris, in 1977. Warhol's Torsos series represents his exploration of both classical nude studies and queer sexuality. The enormous posters were also featured three years later in Paul Schrader s iconic 1980 film, American Gigolo. As Bruce Hainley explained in a 2022 Artforum interview, the poster appears in the film s climactic scene… (as) Bill Duke s pimp Leon mak(es) life difficult for Richard Gere s Julie, played against a frieze of posters for Warhol s Torso series that alone was enough of a gay beacon. In addition to its significance in popular culture, this major print in Warhol s oeuvre is held in many major institutional collections including Tate and MoMA. Published by Ace Gallery, Los Angeles, 1977 Provenance: Ace Gallery archive. Offset Lithograph, 60 × 40 in, 152.4 × 101.6 cm. Condition: Very Good (VG). Due to age, there may be minor condition variances from the condition depicted in the photograph. Overall, Very Good condition. Rare with limited quantities available.
