Article description
Original Siebdruck „Flowers" von Andy Warhol 1972, erschienen in New York bei Sunday B. Morning editions. Rückseitig mit Verlagsstempel ,Sunday B. Morning' und ,fill in your own signature'. Andy Warhol (1927-1987) In the 1960s, Warhol began producing paintings of famous American products such as Campbell's Soup Cans by Campbell Soup Company and Coca-Cola, as well as images by celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Troy Donahue, and Elizabeth Taylor. He founded his studio "The Factory" in those years and gathered a variety of artists, writers, musicians and underground celebrities. He switched to serigraphs, which he produced serially, and not only sought to make art from mass-produced items, but also to produce mass art himself. Warhol reduced the role of his own hand in the production of his work and declared that he wanted to be "a machine," and Warhol unleashed a revolution in the arts. His work quickly became very controversial and popular. Warhol's work from this period revolves around the American Pop (Popular) culture as Roy Lichtenstein. He painted dollar bills, celebrities, brand name products, and snippets of newspaper clippings - many of which were iconic headlines from the decade (eg, photos of mushroom clouds and police dogs attacking civil rights protesters). His motives were instantly recognizable and often had a mass appeal. This aspect interested him the most and unifies his pictures from that time.
