VERA PEREZ, LAURA DEAN, AND ANDY WARHOL During the filming of an episode of the TV series "Love Boat," 1985. Photograph, vintage RC print, credit below the image, labeled (dated tag) on the back. 17.5 x 23 cm, including white borders. Note: This photograph, taken in 1985, shows Vera Perez, Laura Dean, and Andy Warhol during the filming of an episode of the American television series *The Love Boat*. Broadcast worldwide, this iconic series of the 1970s and 1980s regularly featured personalities from the worlds of entertainment, fashion, music, and the arts. A leading figure in Pop Art, Andy Warhol had by then become much more than an artist: a true media icon, he made numerous public appearances and engaged in collaborations and projects spanning television, film, and popular culture. His presence on set attests to the exceptional place he held in the world of American entertainment in the 1980s. This vintage print thus serves as a fascinating testament to the convergence of contemporary art, television, and mass culture at a time when Warhol had become one of the most recognizable figures on the international art scene. A few traces of handling visible only when held up to the light and a slightly trimmed white border. Note:
