    Andy Warhol Cover of Flash (F & S II.32)

    Cover of Flash – November 22, 1963 is a 1968 Andy Warhol screenprint on cloth, based on a double-page spread from the contemporary art magazine Flash. By appropriating and enlarging a printed publication, Warhol once again transforms mass media into fine art. The work reflects his ongoing engagement with magazines, newspapers, and graphic design, central sources for his imagery. Created at the height of the Pop Art movement, the print underscores Warhol’s dual role as both cultural commentator and active participant within the international art world.

  • About Andy Warhol Cover of Flash

    Produced in 1968, Cover of Flash – November 22, 1963 exemplifies Andy Warhol’s fascination with repetition, media, and graphic composition. Printed on cloth, the work reproduces a magazine layout from Flash, an influential Italian art publication known for its avant-garde focus. By isolating and recontextualising the spread, Warhol elevates editorial design to the status of art object. The repetition of text and imagery reinforces his interest in seriality, a defining feature of his visual language as a fundamentally graphic artist. The choice of cloth as a support further blurs boundaries between fine art and functional material. Like his other works based on printed matter, the screenprint highlights Warhol’s ability to extract aesthetic power from media culture, affirming his central place within the global Pop Art movement.
