  • Electric Chair (F & S. II 76)

    ‘Maybe everything isn’t always so fabulous in America. It’s time for some death. This is what’s really happening.’

    Electric Chair (F&S II.76) is a 1971 screenprint from Andy Warhol’s electric chairs series, which is a component of his larger Death and Disaster portfolio. The series juxtaposes the darkest corners of American society with the bright garish colours associated with cheery American advertisements. This combination of death and brightness opens up a narrative about the dark side of the American dream.  The series was created around a time of dissonance between politics and morals amongst the American population, where violence was just and normalised as consumerism. In 1962 – the year in which the Death and Disaster series came about, Warhol’s collaborator, Henry Geldzahler invited the artist to consider the sinister undercurrent of the United States: ‘Maybe everything isn’t always so fabulous in America. It’s time for some death. This is what’s really happening.’
