In August 1962, Andy Warhol began to generate the imagery for his painting from photographs transferred onto silkscreens. For Warhol, silk-screening was crucial to the image’s reproducibility, and his art was a mirror of his times. Warhol’s Death and Disaster series began with his famous portraits of Marilyn Monroe, which he began shortly after her death. He followed up these portraits with more macabre and sensational images of car crashes, electric chairs, race riots, and a gangster’s funeral among others, which were often appropriated from popular newspapers and magazines. Commenting on the fragility of life, Warhol said, "Isn’t life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?"
This print comes with a border containing the artists name, print title and publishing details near the bottom edge of the paper.
