🥫 Beyond the soup can—Artnet's Conner Williams discusses hidden gems by Andy Warhol in our Contemporary Editions auction:
What makes this particular series by Warhol special?
It’s one of the artist’s earliest sets of prints, produced in 1968 to memorialize the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.exists as a set of 11 screenprints, each signed and numbered from an edition of 200. Each print is accompanied by a folio of teletype text, resembling the wire-service reports of the assassination.
Also, part of Warhol’s “death and disaster” theme, we are also offering a wonderful example from his “Electric Chair” series dating from 1971. Warhol produced 10 different prints of an electric chair, each varying in color. The example we have in the sale is the best from the series, with the strongest colors as well as an apparent brushstroke through the middle of the image.
