This poster is from an Andy Warhol exhibition held at the Allentown Art Museum from June 4th to September 10th, 2006. The exhibition was organized by The Andy Warhol Museum, one of the four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, showcasing Warhol's iconic works to the Lehigh Valley community. The poster features a detail from Warhol's famous 'Liz' series, specifically a portrait of Elizabeth Taylor, reflecting his fascination with celebrity culture and mass production.

Warhol's 'Liz' series, created in the 1960s, exemplifies his signature Pop Art style, characterized by bold colors, screen-printing techniques, and repetition. These portraits of Elizabeth Taylor, a prominent actress and cultural icon, capture the essence of fame and the commodification of images in contemporary society. The use of offset lithography on paper, as indicated on the poster, was a common method for producing affordable and accessible art prints, aligning with Warhol's vision of art for the masses.
