DescriptionFrom the left: a Kabuki actress in an elaborate black wig gazes into an oval mirror with a black frame, but instead of her reflection, the mirror shows Andy Warhol’s Elizabeth Taylor with bright red lipstick. The actress’s proper left hand reaches up to adjust a knotted ribbon in her hair.ProvenanceC. Richard Belger and Evelyn Craft Belger, Kansas City, MO;
