Andy Warhol

Warhol took the least respectable thing about mass production — that everything is the same — and made it the content of the work. Soup cans, Marilyns, electric chairs and flowers, all printed rather than painted, all deliberately unheroic.

The print market is the most liquid in twentieth-century art and the most sensitive to condition. Fading, trimming and paper tone move prices more than most buyers expect.

We advise on impressions and Authentication Board history, and place works from the portfolios privately.
