Very few polaroids are signed. This polaroid was given to the model by Warhol and subsequently signed. Fixed to board and matted. Framed. OK condition for a almost 40 years old polaroid. Some stains here and there. Similar polaroid of the same male nude with hands bound by gaffatape was sold recently at Christies. “Victor [Hugo] came down with a nude pose-er. I’m having boys come and model nude for photos for the new paintings I’m doing. But I shouldn’t call them nudes. It should be something more artistic. Like ‘Landscapes.’ Landscapes.” (A. Warhol, quoted in P. Hackett, The Andy Warhol Diaries, New York, 1989, pg. 32)
