Andy Warhol, a shy commercial artist during the 1950's, had made himself a millionaire by creating the Pop Art movement of the early 1960's. His fun and in your face take on the modern world radically altered what the definition of "art" was. He then changed the face of music by mentoring The Velvet Underground who in turn continues to inspire legions of bands around the world. Going into the mid-1970's Warhol had transitioned from being a mere artist into a cultural icon the likes of which the world had never seen.
Offered here is an Andy Warhol signed cut in a framed display that includes one of his memorable pieces. The artwork of Warhol displayed in this frame is a four-square depiction of Marilyn Monroe. All four images of Monroe are the same, with varying colors of background, eyelids, hair, mouth and other features. It is one of Warhol’s most recognizable works. Warhol’s signature is in black marker on a picture. This comes with a LOA from JSA (BB41670)
