About the Item

Original Illustration based on photograph by Karen Bystedt. Signed by Shepard Fairey and Karen Bystedt. "I’ve been a fan of Andy Warhol’s art since high school. At first, his works’ iconic nature and sophisticated color theory attracted me. As I learned more about him, I developed an appreciation for Warhol’s philosophy to bring art to a broader audience by using imagery from pop culture and working with musicians like the Velvet Underground and founding Interview Magazine. Warhol additionally made himself part of the pop art conversation by socializing prolifically and making self-portraits. I have made several tributes to Warhol over the years, including playful remixes of some of his images. When Karen Bystedt showed me her photos of Warhol from 1982, I was captivated by his piercing gaze straight into the lens. I felt compelled to make art based on Karen’s photo, and I’m grateful she allowed me to work from her wonderful picture! Translating photos into captivating art that further amplifies the subject’s power is exactly what Warhol did, so I feel this art piece is fittingly “Warholesque” by aiming for the same. -Shepard Fairey “While at NYU film school in the ’80s, an ambitious young photographer/ artist Karen Bystedt enrolled Andy Warhol to do a sitting for her book on the era’s “sexiest male models,” NOT JUST ANOTHER PRETTY FACE (NAL) 1983 During her extraordinary photoshoot in the conference room at the “last factory” at Union Square, the artist, model, Warhol, who wasn’t typically known for his connection to the camera broke convention, connecting with Bystedt’s lens in a way that was iconic. For 25 years, a cardboard box lay forgotten in an old garage in Los Angeles, housing the hidden modeling negatives of the Andy Warhol. In 2011, the box was discovered by KB Bystedt, sparking a profound journey of self-discovery and artistic exploration.” Shepard and I are both deeply connected to Warhol, and share in his innovative portraiture. We partnered for this print, commemorating what would be his 96th birthday. Shepard’s artwork based on my photograph of Andy Warhol is brilliant and I hope it will inspire you as it has me. –Karen Bystedt Manufacturer: Obey Giant Edition Details: Run: 241/300 Technique: Screen Print Paper: Thick Cream Speckletone Size: 18 X 24 Markings: Signed & Numbered by both artist's in pencil.

Andromeda, Hand painted screen print with diamond dust, portrait & pink flower
By Rosie Emerson
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand painted screen print with diamond dust on 410 gsm Saunders Waterford Paper 15 x 15 inches / 38 x 38 cm Edition of 16 + 2AP's As the prints are hand-painted they are all vary slightly. Price is for unframed, we are happy to coordinate framing for this piece at an extra cost. Produced in 2021 these latest celestial prints really sparkle when the light hits them! Rosie Emerson, born in 1981, is a contemporary artist working almost exclusively on representing the female form. Emerson’s figures draw reference from archetypes old and new, from Artemis to the modern day super model, each solitary figure, an allegory of her own fantasy. Interested in surface, the interplay between photography and painting. Emerson’s works are playful constructs; Photography is used, not as a device for capturing reality but for creating romanticised optical illusions. Inspired by her love of theatre, performance, shrines and rituals, she uses lighting, costume, set and prop making, alongside printmaking and painting to create other worldly one off pieces. Her photography is inspired by both the drama of the baroque, and ethereal qualities of Pre Raphaelite works. Other important influences include late medieval and renaissance paintings, Japanese prints, and magical realist literature. Emerson’s work is widely collected and exhibited both in the UK as well as internationally, through galleries, art fairs and museums. She has also worked with brands and individuals including Harvey Nichols, The Ivy Club, Sony, Triumph Underwear, Redbull, P&O Cruises, and Annoushka jewelry...
