Private collection"With the Diamond Dust Shoes, Andy was able to combine some of his favorite themes—movie star glamour, high fashion, and money. The merger of women's shoes and diamond dust was a perfect fit…
Andy created the Diamond Dust Shoes paintings just as disco, lame, and stilettos of Studio 54 had captured the imagination of the Manhattan glitterati. Andy, who had been in the vanguard of the New York club scene since the early 60's, once again reflected the times he was living in through his paintings" (V. Freemont, Diamond Dust Shoes, New York 1999, pp. 8-9).
