The inspiration for Warhol's Cow artwork came from Ivan Karp, an instrumental art dealer in the 1960's. Karp once told Warhol " Why don't you paint some cows, they're so wonderfully pastoral and such a durable image in history of the arts ". Gerard Malanga, Warhol's printer was the one who chose the photograph of the cow. But ultimately, it was what Warhol did with this image that made the final product so interesting. He used a bold high contrast color scheme, which made the bovine animal a humorous and strangely exciting subject matter. The Cow Series was first shown at Warhol's exhibition at The Leo Castelli Gallery in New York in 1966, and remains one of his most recognizable and iconic images.
