This particular print is a colourway outside the standard edition, not a trial proof, making it a distinct and exceptional example from the series.
In Apple, Warhol captures the intersection of technology, advertising, and cultural influence at the dawn of the digital age. The work features the iconic rainbow Apple Macintosh logo, the bitten apple. reimagined through Warhol’s unmistakable lens. His bold, hand-drawn outlines and vibrant, custom hues elevate the logo into a radiant symbol of innovation and aspiration. The crayon-like texture of the background introduces a sense of playfulness, while the layering of multiple screens and pigments creates a rich, tactile depth that enhances the print’s visual energy.
The Ads Series reinterprets some of the most recognisable trademarks of the 20th century, Apple explores how brands shape identity and desire in a consumer-driven world. Through this unique work, Warhol celebrates and critiques the seductive power of advertising, transforming a corporate emblem into a timeless icon of modern culture.
