Andy Warhol Siberian Tiger. This Andy Warhol Estate rare vintage 1989 Endangered species collector’s offset lithograph print Siberian Tiger 1983 is an incredible special and unique piece to add to your collection.
The Pop Art print is produced by Te Neues Publishing Company in cooperation with The Estate and The Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts, printed in Germany in 1989. The litograph has been sealed with the orignial stamp of the AW foundation. The image is after the original artwork created by Warhol in 1983 titled Siberian Tiger (registered in the catalogue raisonné 1962-1987 Feldman/Schelman 4th ed )
In 1983, Andy Warhol created a series of ten color screen prints featuring endangered animals from around the world: Siberian Tiger, San Francisco Silverspot, Orangutan, Grevy's Zebra, Black Rhinoceros, Bighorn Ram, African Elephant, Pine Tree Frog, Giant Panda, and Bald Eagle. The portfolio was commissioned by Ronald and Frayda Feldman.
Using brilliant colors – characteristic of Andy Warhol's signature style – and poignant expressions that suggest the animal's fate, Andy Warhol creates a dynamic tension between art and reality.
Andy Warhol (1928-1987), son of Czech immigrants, began his career in advertising. He was mainly involved in designing record covers, weather maps for television and Christmas cards. In 1959 he exhibited his artwork for the first time at the Bodley Gallery in New York. He invented the simple but time-consuming technique of the 'blotted line' himself, with which he created his characteristic illustrations. In addition to the record cover of The Velvet Underground & Nico, the screen prints of Campbell's Soup and the portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Jackie Kennedy and Elisabeth Taylor are now world famous.
Warhol started making screen prints in 1962. This printing technique soon became his main method. In the same year, his studio 'The Factory' was set up in New York. With the help of employees, Warhol realized a high art production there, which indeed resembled a factory. With his method of mass production, Warhol approached art in a revolutionary way for the time. The idea of an original work of art was no longer applicable in his view.
The size of this hard to find and out of print collector's Pop Art print is 12" W X 16" H (31 cm by 41 cm). The lithograph is printed on high quality smooth finish paper stock with colourful ink. It is in excellent condition. It has never been framed and is straight from the portfolio. Please see photos for condition reference. It is now being offered here for a competitive price
