About the Item

Andy Warhol Electric Chairs announcement card: Rare early 1970s Warhol electric chairs announcement published on the occasion of: Andy Warhol Electric Chairs: December 2 - March 15, 1972 Des bouvrie Gallery: Brinklaan, Netherlands. Offset printed announcement card with metallic finish; 1972. 5.5 x 7.75 inches. Good to very good overall vintage condition. Unsigned from an edition of unknown; scarce. Electric Chairs, addresses a subject to which Andy Warhol returned several times over the course of the 1960s. In 1963, perhaps prompted by New York state’s decision to cease using the electric chair to execute prisoners, Warhol began using an image of the chair in his Disaster series, a body of work focused on startlingly political and gruesome content. To create these works, Warhol appropriated newspaper and police report photographs of race riots and car crashes, among other subjects. In the Electric Chair prints, the liveliness of Warhol’s secondary palette—acid green, lavender, teal—seems to contravene the pathos of the image, with a sense of absence, loss, and disillusionment. _ Andy Warhol was a leading figure in the Pop Art movement who responded to mass-media culture of the 1960s. His silkscreens of cultural and consumer icons—including Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Campbell’s Soup Cans, and Brillo Boxes—would make him one of the most famous artists of his generation. During the 1980s, Warhol collaborated with several younger artists, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Francesco Clemente, and Keith Haring. The artist died tragically following complications from routine gall bladder surgery at the age of 58, on February 22, 1987 in New York, NY.
