About the Item

Andy Warhol Reigning Queens 1985 announcement, featuring Queen Elizabeth: Vintage original announcement card for, Andy Warhol: Reigning Queens 1985 at Castelli Uptown, New York: September 21-October 12, 1985. Folding announcement card. 7.5 x 6 inches (folded closed). Very good overall vintage condition. Unsigned from an edition of unknown. Well-suited for framing. Further Background: "In 1985 Warhol embarked on his largest portfolio of screenprints. Entitled ‘Reigning Queens’ it contains sixteen prints of the four ruling queens at that time in the world: Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Queen Ntombi Twala of Swaziland and Queen Margrethe II of Denmark – the last of whom features in this poster. Based on official or media photographs, Warhol has incorporated abstract blocks of colour that, although screen-printed, appear collaged. He has also combined printed elements derived from drawings, which emphasise details such as jewellery. A Royal edition of the portfolio was published that incorporated diamond dust. The by-product of the manufacture of industrial-grade diamonds, this dust gave the prints a sparkly, extravagant effect." (source: Tate) 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: His most bold successors include Richard Prince, Takashi Murakami, and Jeff Koons. Warhol has been the subject of exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Museum of Modern Art, Tate Modern, and Centre Pompidou, among other institutions.
