  • Electric Chair (F & S. II 80)

    Warhol’s relentless repetition of the electric chair motif throughout the series underscores the desensitisation that characterises modern life and media consumption.

    Electric Chair (F&S II.80) is a 1971 screenprint from Andy Warhol’s electric chair series, a key component of his broader Death and Disaster portfolio. This series delves into the darker aspects of late 20th-century American society, highlighting its fixation on death and disaster as reflected in media consumption. Among Warhol’s Death and Disaster works, the electric chair series stands out as one of the most sombre, juxtaposing a stark symbol of death with the vivid and garish hues of Pop Art’s bright green and silver.

    The series critiques the hypocrisy in society’s attitudes toward death and disaster. The print’s detached, emotionless tone, combined with its grim subject matter depicted in ironically cheerful colours, amplifies its provocative nature. Warhol’s relentless repetition of the electric chair motif throughout the series underscores the desensitisation that characterises modern life and media consumption.
