A large portrait of Marsha P. Johnson, a Black transgender woman and trailblazing LGBTQ activist is on view as one of the many in a new retrospective of Andy Warhol’s 'Ladies and Gentlemen' series. - NBCOUT

of a vase of flowers, his long nose and lashes on display in his profile view. Other drawings are far more explicit. Together, they recall not only a “moment of gay life in New York,” as Gopnik notes, but also Warhol’s role as both a witness to and a participant in that culture.

But the drawings, like most of Warhol’s explicit works throughout the 1950s, were not well received by the U.S. art world: Critics considered him too"camp," according to Gopnik. Warhol would not achieve widespread acclaim until the 1960s, when he created works of pop art based on advertising imagery and consumer and celebrity culture — including Campbell’s soup cans and Marilyn Monroe portraits, also on view in the Tate exhibit.

“Throughout his work — especially works that deal more explicitly with beautiful people or beautiful men — there is this great attention to the act of looking, and 'Sleep' is probably the best testament to that,” Moran said. “It isn’t a film of dramatic storytelling. It’s literally forcing you to gaze at this naked man as he sleeps.”

Giorno was not explicitly recognized in reviews as Warhol’s boyfriend, according to Gopnik— a fact that he attributes to the film’s experimental quality, which may have overshadowed what it depicted. “By making it so formally avant-garde, he saved himself from having to worry about whether people would be up in arms about its gay content,” Gopnik said.
