Warhol created this brown cow for his show at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1971 and he covered the museum walls in brown cow wallpaper. The idea of using cows as a subject came from Ivan Karp, one of the first dealers to discover Warhol. He suggested that Warhol paint cows because they were a “durable image in the history of art.” He was shocked to see that Warhol had turned the cows into wallpaper making them a durable image of Pop Art. One of the artist’s most desirable images. This is a beautiful impression and is Authenticated by the Andy Warhol Foundation. Andy Warhol (AMERICAN, 1928-1987) Andy Warhol founder and leading figure of the American Pop Art, was born in 1928 as a son of a Carpatho-Rusyn family in Pennsylvania. He began his career as an artist by creating advertising graphics. By 1956, he presented his graphic works at the Museum of Modern Art. Shortly thereafter, Warhol began experimenting with different techniques and started focusing on typically American objects of the consumer society, such as Campbell’s soup cans or Coca-Cola bottles. In 1962 Warhol started with his series of portraits of celebrities, such as Marilyn Monroe or Elvis Presley, who were at the height of their career. His renowned studio ‘The Factory’ was a meeting point for internationally successful artists, actors and musicians. In the early 1960s Warhol was given his first solo exhibition. His work is now part of important private and public collections world-wide, including the Modern Museum of Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London and the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris Condition Faint handling creases and very faint toning on the verso. Otherwise in excellent condition. Sie haben Interesse an diesem Objekt? Vorgebot abgeben
