If you're a famous world superstar you get used to receiving hundreds of exotic and expensive gifts from the same music industry people as well as recognized Hollywood A-list actors and actresses, and this isn't the exception when it comes to Gaga. It has been confirmed that Mother Monster has received more than just a gift from his current boyfriend Christian Carino; The 48-years-old and Creative Artist Agency's (CAA) talent agent has gifted Gaga an original $30,000 Andy Warhol framed screen print titled "Love 312."
This particular Warhol print was created as part of his Love series in 1983 and is compiled from three different screenprints on Rives BFK paper. Each screen print depicts a nude couple embracing one another in a different position. The sequence of images seemingly implies a narrative, as if each image represents a different movement leading up to a culminating act of sexual intimacy. While the images are characterized by sexuality and passion, they aren't as explicitly pornographic as they are romantic. His naming of this collection of prints as his Love series and his depiction of the couple’s full bodies rather than their body parts, also imply deeper meaning beyond sexual intercourse.
More than twenty years after his death, Andy Warhol remains one of the most influential figures in contemporary art and culture. Warhol’s life and work inspire creative thinkers worldwide thanks to his enduring imagery, his artfully cultivated celebrity, and the ongoing research of dedicated scholars. His impact as an artist is far deeper and greater than his one prescient observation that “everyone will be world-famous for fifteen minutes.”
