Provenance
A gift by the artist to the present owner.
Gael Love was an editor of Interview magazine (a publication founded by Andy Warhol and John Wilcox in 1969), from the 1970s through the late 80s, becoming the editor-in-chief and associate publisher. She continued to work for the artist's studio for a short time thereafter. Shoes was a gift from Warhol to Love, one of his many protégés, on the occasion of her wedding.
Condition
The print is in good condition. There is a gentle wave in the sheet and there are a few spots along the natural deckle of the paper where the ink did not register. A crease measuring 1/2 inch, with associated ink cracking, is visible at the upper right sheet corner.
