Andy Warhol 1928-1987
Andy Warhol’s Flowers print portfolio (F & S II.64), created in 1970, was inspired by his landmark 1964 exhibition at Leo Castelli Gallery, New York. The original exhibition marked Warhol’s definitive shift from commercial illustrator to contemporary artist, celebrated for his distinctive screen-printed canvases. The floral motif in this print, derived from Patricia Caulfield’s photograph of hibiscus blossoms featured in Modern Photography magazine (1964), exemplifies Warhol’s provocative exploration of appropriation and mass production. Rendered in vibrant, artificial hues—pinks, purples, and oranges—the composition engages themes of repetition, commercial reproduction, and the artificiality of modern consumer culture. The screen print is in excellent condition, with characteristic variations in signature placement typical of Warhol’s editioning practice. Coskun Fine Art guarantees authenticity and provides collectors with buy-back and consignment services.
