Catalogue Note
Warhol's Untitled (Horse) was a gift from the artist to Laura Eastman, the niece of the great American collector and museum benefactor Henry Walters. The subject is Laura Eastman's horse, whose sudden illness one evening in 1957 deprived Warhol of her company at a party the two had planned to attend together. This charming work was given to Eastman by Warhol to express his wishes for the horse's speedy recovery.
