Andy Warhol Apple (F & S II.359) For Sale

The Apple screenprint originates from Andy Warhol’s 1985 Ads Series. This series draws on his skill as a commercial illustrator, boosting commonplace goods up to the status of high art. The portfolio is a stunning exemplar of Warhol’s ability to encapsulate his fascination with American consumerism, and the powerful symbols of commercialism and commodification.

The screenprint acts as a testament to the intertwining of technology, advertising, and power. The vibrant colours of this screenprint are a reflection of Warhol's love of American consumerism and his ability to elevate the commonplace into art, which caused the lines separating high and low culture to become increasingly indifferentiable. In fact, Warhol's transformation of mass media imagery into art is epitomised by this print. The centrepiece of Warhol's Apple is the renowned Macintosh Computers symbol; an apple with a bite out of it. The original design and rainbow colour scheme of the symbol remain. But Warhol adds his own colourful hues and drawn lines to the original artwork to give it a distinctly Warholian feel.  The rainbow colours of the original logo are retained in Warhol's Apple and blend in seamlessly with his iconic Pop Art colour schemes. This piece exudes a childlike feel due to the crayon-textured, hand-drawn lines in the backdrop. This print's vibrant colour, which was produced by applying paint layers and using numerous screens, is complemented by these wavy lines that outline the Apple logo. The symbol of the apple has become as ubiquitous as the fruit itself, and is now a logo that can be seen in the pockets of most people across the world, emphasising Warhol’s ability to recognise the symbols that are most pertinent to consumerism and visual culture.

In addition to Apple, Warhol's collection of Ads reimagines the most recognisable logos, faces, and trademarks while addressing the implicit impact that branding has on American consumer behaviour. The portfolio's main focus is on pop culture and the ways in which branded imagery helps celebrities, both people and products, gain even more notoriety, making it one of Warhol’s most sought-after portfolios.
