This offset lithograph print is after the original work created by Warhol in 1981 titled " Myths : Mickey Mouse ", image, first shown in an exhibit at the Ronald Feldman Fine Arts Gallery during the same year. This offered lithograph is published by Te Neues Publishing Company, printed in Germany in 1995 with the authorized licensed rights of The Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts.
In 1981 Andy Warhol created the Myths series by choosing subjects from Hollywood films or 1950's television. Part of the Myths portfolio was The Mickey Mouse Series. Andy Warhol was an absolute Dinsney lover. As an adult, Warhol famously stated he wanted to be a cultural icon like Mickey Mouse.
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 The idea of an original work of art was no longer applicable in his view.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 11 13/16" H X 9 6/13 W (24 by 30 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. Please see photos for condition reference. It is now being offered here for a competitive price less
