Before he was churning out portraits of American icons and producing strange films in his silver-tinted Factory, Warhol famously got his start in New York City as an illustrator for magazines and advertisements – a fact that greatly influenced his eventual artistic style but also inspired ire from fellow artists like Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, who found him both too commercial and “too fey.”
Between 1953 and 1959, at the height of his demand as a commercial illustrator for places like the New York Times and I. Miller shoes, Warhol self-published several portfolios, books, and individual prints. The hand-coloring was done by Warhol, his assistants, and various friends. Lettering was done by Andy’s mother, Julia Warhola.
In typical Warhol fashion, the witty accompanying text often references the works of cultural icons like Alfred Hitchcock, Gertrude Stein, and Marcel Proust, in addition to the English nursery rhyme “Star Light, Star Bright.”
Size : 42 x 27.5cm
The original painting on sale is in pristine condition
