Ranging from an enormous pink elephant, to a red, yellow and green pine barrens tree frog, Warhol’s aptitude for colour irresistibly pulls the viewer to pay attention to the critical issue of environment. Each animal (African Elephant, Pine Barrens Tree Frog, Giant Panda, Bald Eagle, Siberian Tiger, San Francisco Silverspot, Orangutan, Grevy’s Zebra, Black Rhinoceros, Bighorn Ram) featured had been listed in the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The portfolio stands out as Warhol’s most forward-thinking and pertinent to modern concerns.1of 30
