I think every woman loves Andy Warhol's Shoe paintings.

A few years ago I did a very small painting of his shoes

paintings and it sold in 5 minutes. It was similar to this one

but much smaller. I can't image being in a shop full of shoes

that Andy Warhol designed. Humm....how many

would you buy?

Andrew Warhola (August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987), known as Andy Warhol, was an American painter, print maker , and filmmaker who was a leading figure in the  visual art movement t known as pop art.

In the sixties Warhol started painting daily objects of mass production like Campbell Soup cans and Coke bottles. Soon he became a famous figure in the New York art scene. From 1962 on he started making silkscreen prints of famous personalities like Marilyn Monroe or Elizabeth

The pop artist not only depicted mass products but he also wanted to mass produce his own works of pop art. Consequently he founded The Factory in 1962. It was an art studio where he employed in a rather chaotic way "art workers" to mass produce mainly prints and posters but also other items like shoes designed by the artist. The first location of the Factory was in 231 E. 47th Street, 5th Floor (between 1st &  2nd Ave).Taylor.
