THE ARTWORK
The artwork - Gabriella Cohen - will be exposed at the exhibition dedicated to Andy Warhol which will take place in Turin at the Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi from 13-10-20 to 31-01-21 and will be available for purchase and collection at the end of the exhibition.
Cellulose acetate film is used as base of the support for photographic films since the Twenties as a replacement for the highly flammable nitrate film. Andy Warhol used this kind of support in order to print his screeprints. In particular this one, dated back to 1974, represents Gabriella Cohen, one of the greatest Italian ballerinas. At the time this photograph was taken, Ms. Cohen was only 20 years old. She studied at the Scala Theater in Milan and at the Bol'šoj Theater in Moscow and started an international career collaborating with the most important dancers all over the world. It's a unique black and white photographic negative part of the Lowell Collection that was the base to the famous original screeprint of Ms. Cohen.

Among the most magnificent and eclectic master pieces made by the King of Pop Art Andy Warhol there are some artworks in series of acetates.
For the artist, acetate was not only the moment that came before the screen printing in the development of the phases of the production technique.
For Warhol it was in fact a fundamental element of the creative process: with the black and white of the photographic negative or positive, Pop Art artist Andy Warhol took away from the subjects all their attributes, aiming to enhance the value of being.
But technically, what is it and why he used acetate?
From the 1920s onwards, cellulose acetate was recognised as a possible photographic medium to replace nitrate film, a highly flammable material.
In the language of art, acetate is therefore understood as a photographic negative or positive reproduced on the transparent acetate support.
A series of Acetates was produced in 1975 by Andy Warhol: "Ladies and Gentlemen".
The theme and the period of realization are the same of the screenprints signed Ladies and Gentlemen in colors.
Andy Warhol decides to depict the unknown profiles of the entertainers of the nightclub "The Gilden Grape" in New York.
The unknown faces of drag queens and African-American transvestites, the protagonists of the works, are returned by Warhol in this series of acetates without any filter.
The makeup and "Ladies and Gentlemen" signed pints' color not more enhance the outward appearance of the transvestite: the psyche is naked this time and presents itself to the viewer sincerely.
Looks, poses and smiles are rich in expressive energy and reveal the true being of these proud and spontaneous personalities.
Other photographic acetates are the artworks of Andy Warhol, which portray important people from the artistic and cultural world with which the artist was in contact. These include:
All these characters posed for Warhol, who took several shots for each before the perfect acetate.

TAX
if you LIVE IN EU
If you live in Europe (CEE) the price we show you already includes taxes. The works are taxed either with VAT exposed (22%) or VAT with the margin, if you are a private person you do not change anything, if you are a company: in In the first case, you will recover the VAT, in the second, no. When you put the works in the cart you will be separated from the vat exposed.
If you DON'T LIVE IN EU and you want an EXTRA EU shipping
Many works (not all) have an exposed VAT of 22% included in the price, this vat will be spun off! Obviously you will pay the VAT to your destination country, if due.
