Andy Warhol (after) - Flowers 11.67

Screenprint on Museum Board 36" x 36" / 91.5 x 91.5 cm Open Edition Published by Sunday B. Morning Signed 12th November 2018 Screen print on museum board paper after Andy Warhol and published by Sunday B. Morning. Inscriptions on the back: "Published by Sunday B. Morning" and "Fill in your own signature". Certificate of authenticity issued by Sunday B. Morning included. Art critic Lucy R. Lippard of Art International found the Flowers series a refreshing departure from Warhol's gory theme of his Death and Disasters series. She likened the silkscreened Flowers to "winsomely child-like blobs of brilliant solid colour, silhouetted against a green and black overall grass pattern with an electric effect." Lippard added, "In spite of the infinite repetition, there is considerable difference in color combination, placement and edge. The direct and cheerful naiveté is augmented by the fact that the technique also recalls an amateur woodcut or linoleum block in its scratchy matter-of-factness and occasional off-registration. Seen up close, the pictures look like 'genuiné brushtroke' reproductions, echoing Warhol's principles of mass-production." Art historian Nina Zimmer noted that "Warhol reduced and radicalised his Flowers to such an extent that the banal subject matter was now transformed into a powerful pictorial concept. The directionless format contributed to this: the pictures can be read in all directions; like an abstract painting, top and bottom, left and right, have been revoked."
