Ferragamo Brings Andy Warhol’s Paint-Spattered Oxfords to Its Ginza Exhibition

Two pairs of shoes preserve paint in different ways. Drops of paint remain on the toes of the brown lace-up Oxfords that belonged to Andy Warhol. On a canvas ankle boot from 1938, Salvatore Ferragamo painted the design by hand. The Ginza display also includes a 2008 Marisa bag embroidered after a drawing by Yayoi Kusama.

The exhibition first appeared at the Italian Ambassador’s Residence during Art Week Tokyo, where works from the embassy’s collection accompanied the museum objects. The boutique exhibition is open to the public through December 22.
