Description
Andy Warhol Cow from the Modern Art Pavilion Seattle Center from November 1976 – January 1977. The cow background is purple. Screenprint in colors on wallpaper. 44"x30". To ship 1 lb. **In house shipping available on this lot** The inspiration for this Cow from 1977 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.
Condition: good, toning and a few stains to border
