Andy Warhol’s Flowers series from 1970 reflects the artist’s pivotal exploration of repeated imagery, consumerism, and the reproduction of beauty. Using Patricia Caulfield’s hibiscus photograph from Modern Photography (1964), Warhol’s silkscreen method amplifies the tension between organic imagery and artificial representation. Employing brilliant, unnatural colours, the print investigates notions of mass-produced beauty. This work is offered in excellent condition with signature variations typical of Warhol’s production. Authenticity is guaranteed by Coskun Fine Art, with available buy-back and consignment services.
