Andy Warhol is often quoted as saying that “I’ve never met a person I couldn’t call a beauty,” however he was especially captivated by Karen Kain. Though Warhol was happy to take commissions from anyone willing to spend $25,000 USD, it seems as if he had a particular vision for his portrait of Canada’s ballet sweetheart. AN ANGEL AT THE IRANIAN EMBASSY Early in her career, Kain was partnered with the legendary ballet dancer Rudolph Nureyev. One night, after dancing together in Swan Lake in New York City, Nureyev invited Kain to attend a party at the Iranian Embassy. Kain recalls that the night was hot, and she hadn’t found time to shower off the pale body makeup that she wore on stage – she simply tossed on a white linen dress before hopping into a cab to 5th Avenue. The party was attended by all manner of celebrities, and Kain has memories of wandering around the rooms, largely unnoticed – except by Warhol. Of their first meeting, Kain told Toronto Life, “Andy Warhol walked up to me and said, ‘You look like an angel.’ It was really weird.” ART HISTORY IN 45 MINUTES OR LESS The two artists’ paths would cross again in 1980, when Toronto lawyer William Hechter commissioned Warhol to make an edition of screenprints and a series of
portraits of the ballerina. Kain flew from Toronto to New York City on a Sunday morning, and headed to Warhol’s famous Factory, located at 860 Broadway. There she was met by a makeup artist who painted her face entirely in white before drawing on a very red set of lips – Kain believes that Warhol was looking to make her face a “unified surface” to better achieve the superflat look he preferred in his screen printed portraits. Of the sitting itself, Kain recalls that the entire session lasted less than 45 minutes. She explained that “he was mumbling, mumbling all the time, I couldn’t understand what he was saying. And he was taking many, many, many pictures all around me, mumbling, and then he was gone and it was over.” Warhol used his preferred camera for the session, his Polaroid Big Shot – which he referred to as “his pen and pencil.” The Big Shot had an integrated light source, which meant that Warhol’s portraits all functionally had the same lighting setup, unified from sitter to sitter, session to session. Though many accounts of Warhol’s process mention the incredible bustle of The Factory, Kain’s sitting was just her and the artist – even the makeup artist had left. Warhol’s ease with the process was evident, which Kain found comforting. She compares her sitting to working with a choreographer: despite her shyness, her experience as a dancer had made her very used to being told how to pose. Kain notes that Warhol didn’t tell her what she should be feeling in the portrait, rather, “he just let me be blank. I think he liked that.” Warhol had a very clear vision for the photoshoot, and directed Kain how to hold her hands. He photographed some shots with her hands in the frame, and some without – there were no other poses taken. Kain notes: “it was very curt. Quiet. [He had a] very quiet voice, but he knew exactly what he wanted me to do. I don’t know why he wanted my hands like that, but he did. I wouldn’t have done that.” Kain’s portrait stands out from Warhol’s oeuvre precisely because of her hands, which are typically absent from his portraits, particularly those of female sitters whom he depicted from the shoulders up, in the style of a classical bust. Interestingly, Warhol included Muhammed Ali’s fists in his portrait,
perhaps seeing Kain and Ali’s hands as essential tools of the athletes’ trade. In Kain’s opinion, “[Warhol] obviously saw something in my hands that spoke to him, because right away he told me what he wanted to do with my hands. I think he observed […] me as Rudolph’s partner, and what stood out to him was how I used my hands.” Kain never crossed paths with Warhol after her fleeting visit to The Factory. Warhol enjoyed the experience of photographing Kain, telling the Timmins Press Review that “she was so beautiful, a great dancer. She stands out, the way she moves. And she was so easy to do.” BEYOND THE FACTORY Warhol’s screenprints of Kain were unveiled in Toronto on June 19, 1980, at an event at the Sutton Place hotel. The proceeds from the first 50 prints from the edition of 200 went to benefit The National Ballet of Canada. Kain recalls that by the time the unveiling happened, she had largely forgotten about her trip to the Factory, so immersed was she in her ballet career. She recalls that she didn’t know what to expect, not being well versed with Warhol’s work at the time. Famously, Kain was uncomfortable with the portrait for many years. Of her first look, she explained that she was shocked by the intense sparkle of the diamond dust-encrusted surface, which Warhol had begun to incorporate in some of his portraits in the late 1970s. Kain recalls having been told as a young dancer that sparkle was “cheap.” Speaking to Toronto Life, she says that “at the time I was embarrassed by how flamboyant it was, but I appreciate it now.” As payment for her sitting, Kain was given the choice to receive two screenprints or one painted portrait. She chose the former, giving one copy to her parents. Kain’s copy hangs in her Toronto home, and her opinion of the iconic image has certainly changed over the years: “I feel very differently about Andy’s work now, with maturity and the passing of time and an understanding of his place in the artistic milieu. Honestly, I really was not taken with the paintings or the silkscreens at all in the beginning.” She adds, “I really didn’t get why he was so famous or why everyone wanted their portrait done by him, but now I have a different appreciation of what he brought to the world.”

The great themes of Andy Warhol’s career – celebrity, sex, and glamour – found their ultimate expression in his portraits of Mick Jagger. Jagger and Warhol first met in New York City in 1964, at a party held for the Rolling Stones during their first US tour. At the time, the Stones were relatively unknown in mainstream American culture, as was Warhol – though both would rocket to superstardom within years. Despite a 15year age gap between Jagger and Warhol, the two stars began a friendship and a working relationship that would continue through the height of their careers. STICKY FINGERS Their first collaboration began when Jagger commissioned Warhol to design the album cover for the Stones’ 1971 release Sticky Fingers. Jagger’s brief: “In my short sweet experience, the more complicated the format of the album, e.g. more complex than just pages or fold-out, the more fucked-up the reproduction and agonising the delays. But, having said that, I leave it in your capable hands to do what ever you want……….. and please write back saying how much money you would like.” Warhol, ever the original, delivered one of the most complex record covers of all time: a life-sized close-up of a man’s jean-clad crotch, which in early pressings
featured a working zipper and belt buckle. The album cover was banned in Spain and Russia, which expedited the record’s rise to number one on the pop charts, while also cementing its place as a masterpiece of Pop Art. After the great success of Sticky Fingers, Warhol lamented not having charged more for the commission, which perhaps turned his mind towards doing another collaboration with Jagger – this time rooted in his oeuvre instead. FROM MONTAUK TO THE FACTORY By the 1970s, Warhol had turned a corner stylistically, moving away from using found imagery, instead preferring to take his own photographs. In the summer of 1975, Warhol rented out his Montauk, Long Island home to Jagger and his wife Bianca while the Stones were rehearsing for their sixth American tour. Jagger’s stay allowed Warhol the opportunity to take a series of photographs of the star. From them, Warhol produced a tenprint portfolio, each seeming to express a different side of Jagger, across a variety of moods. The resulting prints feel multidimensional, compounded by Warhol’s layering in his interests in collage and drawing. Warhol had begun to explore non-representational art by the early 1970s, and in this portfolio, abstract chromatic sections both accentuate and obscure Jagger’s dramatic features. Handdrawn elements – though printed – lend an expressive component. Ever the canny marketer, Warhol asked Jagger to sign some of the prints from the edition, knowing that for some clients, the autograph would be an additional incentive to buy. THE ULTIMATE CELEBRITY PORTRAIT Warhol’s obsession with fame and glamour found its ultimate expression in his celebrity portraits. The more celebrity portraits Warhol did, the more fame he himself gained, both as an artist and as a celebrity in his own right. Of the series, Frayda Feldman, in her catalogue raisonné of Warhol’s prints, writes that “Warhol intended his portraits to be seen – as vanitas images, history paintings, or simply glamour poses – he did more than any other artist to revitalise
the practice of portraiture, bringing renewed attention to it in the avant-garde art world. He reflected the desires and dreams of a new decade and expanded his cast to include the latest characters from the world of sports, television, and politics and also dramatically escalated his portrait commissions.”[1] ANDY ON MICK, MICK ON ANDY Writing for Frieze, Trevor Fairbrother writes that Warhol understood Jagger’s persona, and the strongly branded performativity that motivated it. He excerpts Warhol’s 1979 book Andy Warhol’s Exposures, wherein he writes that “Mick brings out the bisexuality in men who normally would not be like that. He’s androgynous enough for almost anyone. That’s always been his basic appeal, mixed with the facts that: 1) He’s very talented; 2) He’s very intelligent; 3) He’s very handsome; 4) He’s very adorable; 5) He’s a great business person; 6) He’s a great movie star; 7) I like his fake cockney accent… Image is so important to rock stars. Mick Jagger is the rock star with the longest running image. He’s the one all the young white kids copy. That’s why every detail of his appearance is important.”[2] Similarly, Jagger understood Warhol’s genius. Upon the latter’s death, Jagger noted that: “the thing that he seemed to be able to do was to capture society, whatever part of it he wanted to portray, pretty accurately. That’s one of the things artists do, is show people later on what it was like. If you want to be reminded of a certain period, you can look at what Andy was doing then. He was very much in tune with what was going on. Of course, he was criticised for that, for being sort of trendy. But I think some people’s great forte is being so in touch.”

Though Lichtenstein is perhaps most associated with his early comic-book inspired scenes, by the mid-1960s, the artist had shifted his focus towards a different subject matter: the landscape. Well aware of the monumental tradition he was grappling with, Lichtenstein blended the landscape genre with his Pop Art aesthetic to produce something new. Per the artist in an interview with Life magazine in 1964: “I take a cliché and try to organise its forms to make it monumental. The difference is often not great, but it is crucial.” That same year, Lichtenstein created his first paintings of oceans, skies, and hills, at first honing in on the landscapes which formed the backgrounds of comic book panels. He would explore the landscape theme further over the following decades, sourcing images from both “high” and “low” culture: mass-produced iconography, such as travel postcards, or heavily reproduced paintings by popular artists including Claude Monet or Vincent van Gogh. Other times, his landscapes were imaginary, composites sourced from his memory. Tying his output together was his continued formal vocabulary of Ben-Day dots, strong black outlines, and a bold colour palette borrowed from consumer culture and commercial printing.
LICHTENSTEIN AND PRINTMAKING Printmaking had been an important part of Lichtenstein’s practice since his student days, when he would regularly enter regional print exhibitions. Early work included intaglio prints and woodcuts, while his exhibitions in the early 1960s were accompanied by screenprints. Lichtenstein also contributed prints to be included in various editions featuring Pop artists. Lichtenstein was deeply involved in the printmaking process, creating preparatory drawings, cutting stencils by hand, and supervising the processes which he outsourced to specialised printmakers. The MoMA notes that his printed work from the 1960s “was instrumental in the renaissance of American printmaking at that time.” In all, the artist would produce some three hundred fifty printed images, as well as auxiliary items like wallpaper, gift wrap, and paper plates, as well as prints and posters to benefit social and political causes. WORKING WITH GEMINI G.E.L. In the 1980s, Lichtenstein collaborated with Gemini G.E.L. to produce some of his most important prints. Gemini was founded in 1966, capitalising on the new wave of fine art printmaking and pushing the boundaries of graphic arts and the production of multiples. Gemini was invitation-only: selected artists would work closely with master printmakers to produce limited editions which never replicated or reproduced art in other media: in other words, the multiple original. Gemini acted as both fabricator and publisher, collaborating with artists including Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, Ellsworth Kelly, Richard Serra, Julie Mehretu, John Baldessari, Jasper Johns, and of course, Lichtenstein. Gemini is still in operation today, and is considered one of the premier print publishers in the world, working with luminaries including Vija Celmins, Bruce Nauman, Ed Ruscha, David Hockney, Sophie Calle, and Frank Gehry. Since its inception, Gemini’s mission has been to explore and extend the more difficult boundaries of the printed medium. In Lichtenstein’s View From the Window, the collaborators tackled not only a print of monumental size – nearly 80 inches in length – but the complexities
of layering three different printmaking processes in one image. Combining lithography, woodcut and screenprinting in a single print means three times the chances that something can go wrong, as well as three times the amount of work. However, this tremendous effort has resulted in an intricately layered image, one which rewards sustained viewing. To get up close to the work is to revel in both its artistic merit and its technical complexities. VIEW FROM THE WINDOW In View From the Window, Lichtenstein almost entirely obscures the landscape behind a thicket of obvious brushstrokes, both cartoon and realistic-looking in style – though they aren’t brushstrokes at all, but rather printed facsimiles. A nod to his 1960s “Brushstroke” series, these motifs were central to Lichtenstein’s work: rather than using brushstrokes as a tool to make a final image, he made the brushstrokes his subject. Lichtenstein was fascinated by the idea of painting pictures about pictures – as with much of the artist’s work, this results in a great tension between flatness and depth, style and substance. There is a tongue-in-cheek element to Lichtenstein’s brushstrokes as well. Lichtenstein came of age in an era when Abstract Expressionism ruled. His foray into Pop Art has been seen as a rebellion against the grand, gestural brushwork of his predecessors: by calling attention to these exaggerated strokes, Lichtenstein satirises the thick, muscular impasto of the 1940s and 50s. Indeed, Lichtenstein was often cast as the “anti-Pollock” as “his mechanical style of reproducing his comic-book sources implicitly contrasted with Pollock’s frenzied creativity.”[1] When asked about the brushstroke motif, the artist explained: “It’s taking something that originally was supposed to mean immediacy and I’m tediously drawing something that looks like a brushstroke…I want it to look as though it were painstaking. It’s a picture of a picture really and it’s a misconstrued picture of a picture.”[2] View From the Window also asks viewers to consider the landscape genre itself. At its core, it is rooted in the representational, an idealised “wish you were here” that has been codified – and
calcified – over centuries. Without tipping into abstraction, Lichtenstein obscures what appears to be a straightforward seaside balcony view, and denies the viewer any clear focal point, in favour of distortion and obfuscation. The artist is nothing but self-aware, cognizant that he is recontextualizing the “high” art of the landscape by fusing its forms with “low” vocabulary of printing and mass media, toying with the idea of “good” vs “bad” art. Though there is irony at play, Lichtenstein never descends into mockery. Instead, he presents the scene with great panache, using it as a vantage point from which to reconsider art history, tradition, and artmaking itself.

The definition of “good” when used in reference to condition, describes an object as having had no major damage or repair but as with the nature of the material, may show minor surface wear, discolouration etc., which indicates the acceptable wear that the piece may acquire with age. If you are particular about minor flaws, you should examine the pieces in person or have our staff answer any questions before bidding. Sizes are approximate. It is the sole responsibility of the bidder to inquire as to the condition of a lot before bidding. Condition reports are available upon request by phone, fax, email or in person. You are advised to make any requests well in advance of the sale. Frames on artwork are not included as part of purchase or condition.
buyers premium
A premium of 20% of the successful bid price of each lot. A charge of 13% HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) is applicable on the hammer price and buyer’s premium, except for purchases exported from Canada. In the case where purchases are shipped out of the province of Ontario, the HST or GST is charged based on the tax status of that province.

Conditions of Sale 1. All lots are sold “AS IS”. Any description issued by the auctioneer of an article to be sold is subject to variation to be posted or announced verbally in the auction room prior to the time of sale. While the auctioneer has endeavoured not to mislead in the description issued, and the utmost care is taken to ensure the correct cataloguing of each item, such descriptions are purely statements of opinion and are not intended to constitute a representation to the prospective purchasers and no warranty of the correctness of such description is made. An opportunity for inspection of each article is offered prior to the time of sale. No sale will be set aside on account of lack of correspondence of the article with its description or its reproduction, if any, whether colour or black & white. Some lots are of an age and/or nature which preclude their being in pristine condition and some catalogue descriptions make reference to damage and/or restoration. The lack of such a reference does not imply that a lot is free from defects nor does any reference to certain defects imply the absence of others. Frames on artwork are not included as part of purchase or condition. It is the responsibility of prospective purchasers to inspect or have inspected each lot upon which they wish to bid, relying upon their own advisers, and to bid accordingly. 2. Each lot sold is subject to a 20% buyers premium as part of the purchase price. 3. Unless exempted by law, the buyer is required to pay Harmonized Sales Tax on the total purchase price including the buyer’s premium. For international buyers, taxes are not applicable when purchases are shipped out of country. Items shipped out of Ontario, the buyer is required to pay taxes as per the tax status of that province, whether it HST or GST (Goods and Services Tax).
6. Each lot may be subject to an unpublished reserve which may be changed at any time by agreement between the auctioneer and the consignor. The auctioneer may bid, or direct an employee to bid, on behalf of the consignor as agreed between them. In addition, the auctioneer may accept and submit absentee and telephone bids, to be executed by an employee of the auctioneer, pursuant to the instructions of prospective purchasers not in attendance at the sale. 7. The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer for any lot shall be the buyer and such buyer shall forthwith assume full risk and responsibility for the lot and must comply with such other Conditions of Sale as may be applicable. If any dispute should arise between bidders the auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to designate the buyer or, at his option, to withdraw any disputed lot from the sale, or to re-offer it at the same or a subsequent sale. The auctioneer’s decision in all cases shall be final. 8. Immediately after the purchase of a lot, the buyer shall pay or undertake to the satisfaction of the auctioneer with respect to payment of the whole or any part of the purchase price requested by the auctioneer, failing which the auctioneer in his sole discretion may cancel the sale, with or without re-offering the item for sale. 9. The buyer shall pay for all lots within 48 hours from the date of the sale, after which a late charge of 2% per month on the total invoice may be incurred or the auctioneer, in his sole discretion, may cancel the sale. The buyer shall not become the owner of the lot until paid for in full. Items must be removed within 10 days from the date of sale, after which storage charges may be incurred.
4. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot from sale at any time, to divide any lot or to combine any two or more lots at his sole discretion, all without notice.
