In 1970, Andy Warhol revisited the Flowers subject first exhibited in his pivotal 1964 solo show in New York. The original hibiscus flower image, appropriated from Patricia Caulfield’s photograph in Modern Photography (1964), became a powerful symbol of Warhol’s critique of originality and authorship in fine art. Warhol’s screen-printed editions feature flowers rendered in intense, unnatural colours, echoing the mechanical aesthetics of advertising and mass media. This print, reflecting the Pop artist’s concept of art as a commercial commodity, remains in excellent condition. Coskun Fine Art guarantees authenticity and offers comprehensive buy-back and consignment options.
