Literature Frayda Feldman and Jörg Schellmann 32-42 Catalogue Essay For years Warhol couldn't let go of the John F. Kennedy assassination and the events around it. He kept returning to related images, especially of Jacqueline Kennedy, which became some of his best known paintings. Finally, as if in a bid for closure, he printed a portfolio of the pictures he collected, titled it Flash--November 22, 1963 and put one of that day's stunner headlines, "President Shot Dead" on the cover. Holland Cotter Pop Rides the News Cycle, New York Times, October 20, 2011 Read More Artist Bio Andy Warhol American • 1928 - 1987 A seminal figure in the Pop Art movement of the early 1960s, Andy Warhol's paintings and screenprints are iconic beyond the scope of Art History, having become universal signifiers of an age. An early career in commercial illustration led to Warhol's appropriation of imagery from American popular culture and insistent concern with the superficial wonder of permanent commodification that yielded a synthesis of word and image, of art and the everyday. Warhol's obsession with creating slick, seemingly mass-produced artworks led him towards the commercial technique of screenprinting, which allowed him to produce large editions of his painted subjects. The clean, mechanical surface and perfect registration of the screenprinting process afforded Warhol a revolutionary absence of authorship that was crucial to the Pop Art manifesto. View More Works
