Andy Warhol Santa Claus (F & S II.266) For Sale

Andy Warhol created Santa Claus, a signed screen print on Lenox Museum board, in 1981 for the Myths portfolio. Prior to this series, Warhol was known for his portraits of revered celebrities. In this portfolio, Warhol presents us with a different kind of popular figure, one that is fictional. These characters come from our favourite films and TV shows, as well as advertisements and consumer culture. A commonality among them all is that none of them follow reality; some are magnificent heroes, while others are the worst of villains; some have magical skills, while others live in a whole different realm. All of which are distinctly American, and are the foundation of American popular culture.

Warhol’s depiction of Santa Claus captures the iconic figure’s radiant cheerfulness with notable precision. Santa’s eyes sparkle as he gazes through his small spectacles, while his white beard dominates the print, reminiscent of a snowy landscape from childhood memories. Although this representation lacks the vibrant outlines and striking colours that characterise other works in the Myths series, its simplicity alone evokes a profound sense of nostalgia. The charm and appeal of the character are further accentuated by the application of shimmering diamond dust, adding an additional layer of magic.
