Andy Warhol's Shoe Drawing from 1981 harks back to the artist's early days when he independently published books, single prints, and cards to showcase his whimsical and sophisticated drawing technique. This creative journey was spurred by Tina Frederick, the former Art Director of Glamour magazine, who, after acquiring a drawing from Warhol in 1949, inquired about his other artistic endeavors. Warhol's response, a casual "Anything," led to Frederick commissioning a series of illustrations featuring women's shoes for the magazine.
