Andy Warhol Flowers (F & S II.70) For Sale

This series was originally conceived during the 1960s, as Warhol explored flowers as a motif. The screenprint is one of ten from his quintessential Flowers series, published in 1970. The complete series is known to be one of Warhol’s most valuable and sort after portfolios, and is undoubtedly a feast for the eyes.

In this screenprint Warhol transforms the flowers into something that is distinctly pop art. The petals are a blazing array of colours, of yellow, blue and orange, against a bright pink background. The petals are stripped of any detail, leaving only the shape of the flower, but it is still recognisable as such. This series marks a new point in the history of art, as depictions of flowers have been around since the start of art history. However, Warhol offers his bold addition to this historical catalogue of flower paintings, giving us a pure pop art phenomenon.  As Gerard Malanga said “In a funny way, he was kind of repeating the history of art… It was like, now we’re doing my flower period! Like Monet’s water lilies, Van Gogh’s flowers”. Warhol has taken the familiar and transformed it into something new and exciting.

Arguably, this series is one of Warhol’s greatest. He took a simple photograph of some hibiscus flowers from a 1960s magazine, and transformed them into something new, elevating a newspaper photograph to high art. Although flowers have been a common muse throughout art history, Warhol created artificial flowers that are perfect for an artificial, celebrity obsessed consumer.
