Thirteen Most Wanted Men
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"Nowadays if you're a crook you're still considered up-there. You can write books, go on TV, give interviews—you're a big celebrity and nobody even looks down on you because you're a crook. You're still up-there. This is because more than anything people just want stars." -- The Philosophy of Andy Warhol |

The "13" in the title of The Thirteen Most Beautiful Boys was most likely borrowed from a New York City Police brochure of "The Thirteen Most Wanted" which was also the inspiration for Warhol's mural Thirteen Most Wanted Men at the 1964 New York World's Fair, painted on the New York State Pavilion, designed by Philip Johnson. It is reminiscent of Our Lady of the Flowers in its glorification of criminals.
Frank Bellone was one of the thirteen criminals represented in Warhol's Thirteen Most Wanted Men series, based on mug shots published by the New York Police Department in 1962.
