ArtSpace 100 Presents Andy Warhol Collection

By: Christina Mancuso May. 21, 2013

In this month's edition of the Artspace 100, we're featuring works by a legendary artist whose influence redefined the very way we look at art: Andy Warhol. The Pop maverick's genius lies in the way that he both captured the spirit of his time and uncannily prefigured the image-saturated, celebrity-driven culture of the Internet age. We are thrilled to be releasing a selection of works by Warhol on Artspace, including his iconic images of Marilyn Monroe and Campbell's Soup cans.

Next to Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor is Warhol's most iconic leading lady-another glamorous star whose tumultuous private life made her a national tabloid sensation.

Some of the world's leading collectors are known to covet Warhol's portraits of Mao, considering their dramatic patina of world history & new resonance in light of China's rise

Perhaps the platonic ideal of Warhol's art, the famous Campbell's Soup cans were his first revolutionary silk-screen prints, commenting on the reign of advertising and commercial culture.

Campbell's Soup (Pepper Pot), 1968

Despite the elaborate theories that have attached to Warhol's work in recent decades, he painted what he liked-and he ate Campbell's Soup every day for 20 years.

Campbell's Soup II (Old Fashioned Vegetable), 1969

From his "Cowboys and Indians" series of Western icons, Warhol's John Wayne (in a Stetson hat) is a conflicted emblem of American power in an uncertain frontier.

More thorny than sweet, Warhol's flowers are an instance of both his brilliant graphic sensibility and boundary-crossing conceptual audacity-a must-have for the discerning collector.
