Comment(s): Warhol drawings on Studio 54 letterhead are rare. The closest comparable of a marker drawing similar to ours is a sale for $4,375 at Phillips New York, 10/17/2017, lot #367. This lot measured 11”x 8 1/2” and was created in 1978. The Studio 54 logo and printed text includes a telephone number; our example does not. The Phillips drawing is extremely basic whereas ours is more detailed and dynamic. Image copyright © The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York.
