Starting Bid: 800 €
1989. Silk screen in colours. 112,5 x 75 cm. Unframed. Small tears. Poster of the retrospective in the MOMA 1989/90 - Painter, graphic artist, filmmaker and publisher, one of the most important representatives of Pop Art. His serial works depicting consumer goods and celebrities are among the most sought-after icons of contemporary art. W. began in the 50s as a commercial artist and soon belonged to their highly paid elite. He exhibited at MoMA as early as 1956, and by the mid-1960s at the latest, he was counted among the international avant-garde of the art world. W. had numerous exhibitions, including several times at Documenta. Through the serial repetition of a motif, often with intentionally imprecise color application, W. draws our attention to the manipulability of our perception through the media. Mus.: New York (MoMA, Metrop. Mus., Whitney Mus.), London (Tate Modern), Los Angeles (Mus. of Contemp. Art), Pittsburgh (Andy-Warhol-Mus.), Cologne (Mus. Ludwig) a. others. Lit.: Feldmann/Schellmann: A catalogue raisonné, 1985 a. others.
