Description
Andy Warhol Cow in colors Wallpaper, 1971 Whitney Museum Exhibition Screenprint in colors on wallpaper. 45.5"x30". To ship 1 lb. Part of a collection of Warhol Cows from a Paris Private Collector. The inspiration for this Cow from 1971 and the rest of the Cow series came from Ivan Karp, an instrumental art dealer in the 1960s. Karp once told Warhol, Why don’t you paint some cows, they’re so wonderfully pastoral and such a durable image in the history of the arts. Gerard Malanga, Warhols 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. PROVENANCE: A Paris France / NYC Private Collector
Condition: good with small tear bottom right, minor marks to border
