Andy Warhol ( 1928 - 1987 ) is one of the singularly most well known Contemporary artists of all time. His imagery is recognized worldwide. His infamous life, artworks, and creative endeavors are like no other artist. He is credited as the very first artist to use common everyday objects and view them in a completely different way while paying homage to their role in our society. Glorifying the common as the beautiful. His technique utilizing a silkscreen method combined with hand finishing in a signature palette of vibrant color hues make the work stand on its own and loved by millions.
The inspiration for this Cow from 1976 came from Ivan Karp, an instrumental art dealer in the 1960's. Karp once told Warhol " Why don't you paint some cows, they're so wonderfully pastoral and such a durable image in history of the arts ". Gerard Malanga, Warhol's printer was the one who chose the photograph of the cow. But ultimately, it was what Warhol did with this image that made the final product so interesting. He used a bold high contrast color scheme, which made the bovine animal a humorous and strangely exciting subject matter. The Cow Series was first shown at Warhol's exhibition at The Whitney Museum in New York in 1971 and remains one of his most recognizable and iconic images.
