Description

In 1983, Andy Warhol created a series of ten color screenprints that portrayed endangered animals from around the world: Siberian tiger, San Francisco Silverspot, Orangutan, Grevy’s zebra, Black Rhinoceros, Bighorn Ram, African Elephant, Pine Barrens Tree frog, Giant Panda, and Bald Eagle.

Using brilliant colors — characteristic of Andy Warhol’s signature style — and poignant expressions suggestive of the animal’s fate, Andy Warhol creates a dynamic tension between art and reality.

Andy Warhol was an American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art.

Andy Warhol’s Marilyn and Andy Warhol’s Soup Cans are some of the most recognized and collectible of his artworks. From Andy Warhol Paintings to Andy Warhol Prints and unique pieces, the artist’s works are available for sale at Guy Hepner.
