About the Item

Andy Warhol "Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century": A complete set of ten Warhol announcement cards published in conjunction with Andy Warhol's 1980 exhibition at The Jewish Museum (October 7, 1980 to January 5, 1981). The cards feature Warhol’s Gertrude Stein, Golda Meir, the Marx Brothers, Franz Kafka, George Gershwin, Sigmund Freud, Albert Einstein, Martin Buber, Louis Brandeis and Sarah Bernhard. Biographical information appears on the reverse-side of each card. Includes its original folder. RARE. Medium: Set of 10 off-set printed announcement cards; housed in a folding-card portfolio, as issued. Each card measures 7 x 5.5 inches. All elements in very good to very good overall vintage condition; minor signs of handling. Unsigned from an edition of unknown. Published by The Jewish Museum, NY, 1980. Rare. Further Background: Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century” depicts figures from Andy Warhol’s personal pantheon of great thinkers, politicians and performers from the Jewish culture. Famous for his preoccupation with celebrities, here Warhol’s critique of modern pop-culture is reiterated: the idea of being obsessed with stars without knowing in depth any celebrity is famous for. These are reproduction prints published by the Jewish Museum for the purposes of the 1980 exhibition and are not the original screen prints. Obsessed with celebrity, consumer culture, and mechanical reproduction, Pop Art king, Andy Warhol created some of the 20th century’s most iconic images. Warhol was widely influenced by popular & consumer culture, with this being evident in some of his most famous works: 32 Campbell's soup cans, Brillo pad box sculptures, and portraits of Marilyn Monroe & Mick Jagger, for example. Rejecting the standard painting and sculpting modes of his era, Warhol embraced silk-screen printmaking to achieve his characteristic hard edges and flat areas of color. The artist mentored Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat and continues to influence contemporary art around the world.

Published in conjunction with Kaikai Kiki Gallery Perhaps Murakami's most iconic motif, these candy-colored, smiling flowers came into the artist's work when he was preparing for his entrance exams for the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts, and he embraced the form over nine years teaching prep-school students to draw flowers. One of the most acclaimed artists to emerge from postwar Asia, Takashi Murakami—“the Warhol of Japan”—is known for his contemporary Pop synthesis of fine art and popular culture, particularly his use of a boldly graphic and colorful anime and manga cartoon style. _ Pairs quite nicely with many of our other Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Damien Hirst & Roy Lichtenstein items on our page.
