Andy Warhol Mobi (F & S II.350) For Sale

Warhol's Ads portfolio perfectly captures Warhol’s ability to both celebrate yet criticise the overbearing presence of advertisements. The series gives otherwise unremarkable yet legendary ads a higher artistic stature, elevating everyday objects into works of art.

Andy Warhol's screen print Mobilgas, printed in 1985, embodies the artist's obsession with American commercialism. The Mobilgas emblem is depicted in the print as a white sign against a blue background. In the central print, the fabled winged horse Pegasus's scarlet body contrasts with vibrant yellow and orange gestural lines. The Greek mythological creature's body is highlighted by the colour contrast, which draws the viewer's attention to it. In contrast to the flat form of Warhol's early, more "mechanic," prints, such the Campbell's Soup series, this approach gives the screen print more dimension and physical presence. This print depicts a more reachable kind of consumer good, rather than extravagant products like Volkswagen cars or Chanel perfume.

In Warhol's Ads, iconic advertisements and commercial products are boldly appropriated, reflecting his roots as a commercial illustrator. Already striking advertisements and posters are transformed with vibrant colour and distinct character, elevating their value and prestige. This makes the collection both more accessible and yet, paradoxically, unattainable for most.
