The litograph has been sealed with the orignial stamp of the AW foundation.
John Lennon (the Beatles) was a close friend of the artist. In an unusual turn of events Warhol didn't use his own image of Lennon, instead he used the 1971 photograph, taken by Iain Macmillan.
Andy Warhol (1928-1987), son of Czech immigrants, began his career in advertising. He was mainly involved in designing record covers, weather maps for television and Christmas cards. In 1959 he exhibited his artwork for the first time at the Bodley Gallery in New York. He invented the simple but time-consuming technique of the 'blotted line' himself, with which he created his characteristic illustrations. In addition to the record cover of The Velvet Underground & Nico, the screen prints of Campbell's Soup and the portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Jackie Kennedy and Elisabeth Taylor are now world famous.
Warhol started making screen prints in 1962. This printing technique soon became his main method. In the same year, his studio 'The Factory' was set up in New York. With the help of employees, Warhol realized a high art production there, which indeed resembled a factory. With his method of mass production, Warhol approached art in a revolutionary way for the time. The idea of an original work of art was no longer applicable in his view.
The size of this hard to find and out of print collector's Pop Art print is 12" W X 16" H (31 cm by 41 cm). The lithograph is printed on high quality smooth finish paper stock with colourful ink. It is in excellent condition. It has never been framed and is straight from the portfolio. Please see photos for condition reference. It is now being offered here for a competitive price. less
