Shoes are a recurring motif in the oeuvre of Andy Warhol. Made in collaboration with Warhol's master printmaker, Rupert Jasen Smith, "Diamond Dust Shoes" incorporated real diamond dust particles in the printing process - hence the name of this extravagant series. This was the first time Warhol had printed with this method and gave the prints a relief surface with reflective properties. Not only did this printing method give the shoes a three-dimensional appeal, but it also added to the luxe materiality of the designer footwear.

About the artist: Obsessed with celebrity, consumer culture, and mechanical reproduction, Pop artist Andy Warhol created some of the 20th century's most iconic images. He drew widely from popular culture and everyday subject matter in his most famous works: his 32 Campbell's soup cans, Brillo pad box sculptures, and portraits of Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor, for example. Rejecting his day's dominant painting and sculpting modes, Warhol embraced silk-screen printmaking to achieve his characteristic hard edges and flat areas of color. The artist mentored Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat and continues influencing contemporary art worldwide. His provocative successors include Richard Prince, Takashi Murakami, and Jeff Koons. Warhol has been the subject of exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Museum of Modern Art, Tate Modern, and Centre Pompidou, among other institutions. His works have sold for upwards of $100 million at auction.
