Provenance: Joy "Joystick" Bouldin. Joy was a key figure in the New York club scene of the early 1980s. Aged 18 she arrived in New York and eschewing her plans to go to college found work at the Mudd Club. Here she was befriended by Andy Warhol who introduced her to his inner circle including Jean-Michel Basquiat for whom she modelled and Keith Haring. In 1982 she quit her job in a law firm to "work the elevator" at Danceteria. Deciding who to let in to the private club gave her a key position at the forefront of the emerging culture of the time positioned at the intersection between fashion Pop Art Hip Hop and graffiti. Like key door-people everywhere Joy knew everyone and everyone knew her. She came up with the idea of having the best known and most applauded graffiti writers pop artists and musicians tag or draw on her clothing as they came in and out of the club. In doing so she created a wearable original artwork merging fashion art and music that now also serves as a significant historical document. In true graffiti spirit the writers wanted to be seen and learning of Joy's legendary art coats were keen to have their name displayed at the hottest club in town. As a result Joy was gifted items of hand-painted clothing in the hope she would wear them out. This jacket by Revolt was once such item that she loved and wore regularly.

LGBTQ Film History Andy Warhol Women in Revolt Lobby Card Archive Transgender Representation 1971

1971réf. 197611971. Warhol Andy. Women in Revolt 1971 documents a significant work of underground cinema engaging transgender identity performance and feminist discourse within the context of Warhol's Factory productions. Produced by Andy Warhol and directed by Paul Morrissey the film features prominent transgender performers including Candy Darling Jackie Curtis and Holly Woodlawn. The film engages themes of gender identity performance and social marginalization through satire supporting research into LGBTQ film history avant-garde cinema and the intersection of queer culture with feminist movements of the early 1970s. Archive of 3 original vintage silver gelatin photographs used as lobby display materials each measuring approximately 10 x 8 inches in black and white. Two photographs feature Candy Darling in stylized portrait-like scenes including one in which she sits on a couch wearing pronounced makeup and gazing into the distance and another in which she appears adorned with a pearl necklace emphasizing glamour and constructed femininity. The third photograph depicts Holly Woodlawn reclining alongside Martin Kove presenting a staged domestic or intimate setting. The images foreground costume pose and expression reflecting the film's engagement with identity as performance and the visual language of Warhol's cinematic productions. Produced during a period of expanding queer visibility in underground film following the late 1960s Women in Revolt situates transgender performers at the center of its narrative marking a departure from marginal or coded representation in mainstream media. Its satirical treatment of the Women's Liberation Movement reflects tensions and intersections between feminist and queer discourses of the period while also documenting the lived realities and artistic contributions of Warhol's collaborators. These photographs provide material evidence of how such themes were visually presented within alternative film circuits. Light handling wear with minor edge wear; images remain sharp and well-preserved; overall very good. A concise and significant group from a foundational work of transgender representation in avant-garde cinema. unknown
