About the Item

Andy Warhol Cow 2012 31 × 48.5 × 2 cm (12.2 × 19.1 × 0.8 in), framed A Rosenthal transfer-printed plaque in colours Published by Rosenthal studio-line, in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the visual Arts INC., New York. Edition of 49 In mint condition Signed and stamped by artist's estate in glaze recto and numbered on verso, accompanied by Certificate of Authenticity from the Rosenthal Studio in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the visual Arts INC., New York. Andy Warhol’s series of a New Jersey cow played a big role in the artist’s career and is one of his most recognizable works. Published between 1966 and 1976, the Cow portfolio consisted of four distinctive color schemes: Pink Cow on Yellow Background (1966), Brown Cow with Blue Background (1971), Yellow Cow on Blue Background (1971), and finally Pink Cow on Purple Background (1976). Warhol was encouraged to consider the subject by Ivan Karp, an instrumental art dealer in the 1960s. As the artist recalls “Karp said: Why don’t you paint some cows, they’re wonderfully pastoral and such a durable in the history of the arts”. The photograph was chosen by Gerard Malanga - Warhol’s printer - but it was ultimately Warhol who chose bright and sometimes aggressive color scheme. He subverted a mundane bovine into a chaotic yet humorous subject, suggesting the illusion of a cow on an acid trip. “I don't know how ‘pastoral’ he expected me to make them, but when he saw the huge cow heads ‘bright pink on a bright yellow background’ that I was going to have made into rolls of wallpaper, he was shocked. But after a moment he exploded with: ‘They're super-pastoral! They're ridiculous! They're blazingly bright and vulgar!’ I mean, he loved those cows and for my next show we papered all the walls in the gallery with them.„ —Andy Warhol ABOUT THE ARTIST Andy Warhol Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was an American artist, a leading figure of the Pop Art movement. Using a variety of media materials from photographs up to computer-generated art, Warhol's works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity, culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. Emerging from the poverty and obscurity of an Eastern European immigrant family in Pittsburgh, Warhol became a charismatic magnet for bohemian New York. In 1960, he began to produce his first canvases depicting Popeye and Dick Tracy. After Marilyn Monroe’s death in August 1962, he started working from snapshots of the star’s already legendary face, which had been widely distributed by the world’s press. His choice of subjects clearly relates to an obsession with demise – his Marilyns, his Ten Lizies (created when the actress Elizabeth Taylor was seriously ill), and also his Elvis. Part of the “Death and Disaster” series, Andy Warhol´s Marilyn Monroes are undoubtedly iconic portraits of our era, exploring as they do the artist’s fascination for images of death and beauty. He worked across many media as a painter, printmaker, illustrator, film-maker, and writer, and produced many world-famous series. Andy Warhol Flower´s series reinterprets a traditional motif spanning the history of art, while Warhol´s Cambell´s Soup Can series represents the mass-produced, printed advertisements that inspired him since his childhood. Towards the end of 1962, the artist turned to the photo-silkscreen process, which became his signature medium. From 1963 up until 1968, the year in which he was shot, Warhol – surrounded by assistants in his studio The Factory – took the industrial character of his work to its climax. Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions and books, as well as feature and documentary films. The Andy Warhol Museum in his native city, Pittsburgh, is the largest museum in the United States dedicated to a single artist. Andy Warhol´s artworks are some of the most influential works of art of the second half of the twentieth century, representing the most recognizable images ever produced. “ Once you ‘got’ Pop, you could never see a sign again in the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America in the same way again. ” —Andy Warhol
