In 1983 Warhol was commissioned to create a print for the portfolio “Art and Sport” created to commemorate the XIV Olympic Winter Games in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. Warhol chose a speed skater as his subject. In this unique proof, authenticated by the Warhol Foundation, Warhol uses numerous layers of color and prints the image in negative. Even more than the regular edition it conveys the flash of color as a skater whizzes past, too fast for the human eye to make out the details. Andy Warhol (American, 1928-1987) Arguably one of the most influential American artists, Andy Warhol was a leading figure in the Pop art movement. He is particularly known for the breadth of his oeuvre, as it encompassed painting, hand drawing, printmaking, photography, silk screening, sculpture, film and music. Fascinated with celebrity culture and status, his silkscreens of pop icons and mundane objects were particularly successful and cemented his place as a “celebrity” artist. His studio, The Factory, was a famous gathering place that brought together distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights, Hollywood celebrities, and wealthy patrons. As early as the 1970s galleries started exhibiting Warhol’s work, which is now part of some of the most renowned collections worldwide, including the Modern Museum of Art, New York; Tate Modern, London; and d’Art Moderne, Paris.
