Torso (Double)

In 1977, Andy Warhol began to work on two series which would become known as Torso and Sex Parts. It debuted at the Grand Palais in Paris in October 1977. The series was created from a collection of erotic photographs taken by Warhol. According to associate Bob Colacello, when Warhol was asked about the erotic photographs laying in his office, Warhol responded, “Just tell them it’s art, Bob. They’re landscapes.”
