This Andy Warhol hand painting is highly collectible and rare original signed. painted artwork in black india ink and watercolor paint on a sheet of cream paper.
It depicts a group of women's faces with variously colored eyes and various shades of lipstick.
Circa beginning of 60s, from Andy's period of advertising illustration in New York City. Possibly a test-layout work or possibly a "mechanical" for subsequent publishing in a magazine.
When Alexey Brodovitch was art directing Harper’s Bazaar, he ran a striking cover by Herbert Bayer for its 1940 “College Fashions” issue. A three-quarter view photo of a woman’s face is duplicated in two rows of four: a clear newsstand eye-catcher.
