Agusto Bugarin worked for Andy Warhol from 1980 until Warhol’s death in 1987. During this period, Agusto worked as a studio assistant and personal assistant to the artist, managing a broad array of daily activities and tasks in the homes of Warhol and in his famed studio, The Factory. In 1984, Warhol was approached by Swatch to do a watch collaboration. Eventually, Warhol referred Swatch to his protégé and fellow artist Keith Haring for the now historic project. However, during that time frame Warhol had been collaborating with artist Jean-Michel Basquiat on a series of paintings and the two asked Bugarin to model a Swatch while they sketched a portrait of Agusto. Both artists signed the work and gave it to Mr. Bugarin as a gift. It has remained in his possession ever since, never publicly displayed, amongst a few gifted works Bugarin received during his tenure working for Warhol. In 2014, Andy Warhol’s Foundation for the Visual Arts contested Bugarin’s ownership of a 1964 Liz painting by Warhol that would become the focal point of a very public dispute between the Foundation and Mr. Bugarin. The dispute was amicably settled and details remain confidential, but the agreement did state “Bugarin may disclose that the Foundation has released any claim it has with respect to the Other Works”, including this Warhol and Basquiat collaborative drawing of Bugarin wearing a Swatch watch in 1984. Five years since the agreement with the Foundation, Bugarin has retired and agreed to sell this work and unveil it to the public for the first time.
