Provenance
Dr Maury P. Leibovitz Collection, Connecticut.
Private collection, US, UK and Greece (by descent from the above in 1992).
Thence by descent to the present owner.
The present work by Andy Warhol was originally part of the collection of Dr. Maury Leibovitz. As the Vice-Chairman and President of Knoedler-Modarco, as well as close associate of billionaire industrialist and philanthropist Dr. Armand Hammer, owner and founder of Hammer Galleries, Leibovitz was a prominent figure in the New York art world in the 1970-1990s.
In his role as head of one of the USA's oldest and most established galleries, Leibovitz was well-placed in the blossoming New York art scene to meet and integrate with some of the biggest names of the time, including the likes of Andy Warhol, from whom it is probable that the present work was acquired. Despite this significant role in the contemporary market, his eclectic personal collection of art was very broad; it spanned the centuries and included works by the Old Masters, Impressionists, Modern European artists such as Salvador Dalí.
His legacy in the New York art world remains to this day, having gifted a number of works to various institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Portrait Gallery and the New York Historical Society Museum and Library.
