It was Art Dealer Luciano Anselmino that gave Andy Warhol the idea for his Ladies and Gentlemen series from which this print is from. He recruited several black and hispanic drag queens from The Gilded Grape in Greenwich Village. He was fascinated by the drag queens, who had a confidence to their looks and personality. He would take the polaroid photographs that would then become the screenprint portraits. The series was first exhibited in Italy at the Palazzo di Diamente.
