Flowers, c.1964 (4 red)

Throughout Andy Warhol’s career he often returned to subjects that interested him. In the 1950’s while working as a commercial illustrator he created several delicate works of flowers. In the 1960’s he created his most famous flowers series. These all over colourful compositions were exhibited in various orientations, and the silkscreen process flattened the subjects to create a beautiful painting that is integrally abstract. In the 1980’s, he created a proposal for the exterior of the Tacoma Dome of flowers, and after liking these images so much he created a series of screen-prints of Daisies.
