Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol (1928–1987) revolutionized contemporary art with his bold, graphic style and fascination with mass culture, consumerism, and celebrity. A leading figure of the Pop Art movement, Warhol transformed everyday objects—Campbell’s soup cans, Coca-Cola bottles, dollar bills—into iconic works that blurred the line between high and low art.

His screen prints, arguably his most recognizable body of work, elevated repetition and commercial imagery into fine art. By mass-producing images of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and Chairman Mao, Warhol not only immortalized his subjects but also explored themes of fame, reproduction, and artistic commodification.

Among his many notable prints is Lincoln Center Ticket (1967), created for the Lincoln Center Film Festival. This piece captures Warhol’s signature approach, transforming a mundane object—an event ticket—into a dynamic, layered composition of bold colors, overlapping text, and graphic elements. The print reflects his fascination with ephemera and the idea that even something as fleeting as a ticket stub could be reimagined as an enduring work of art.

Warhol’s prints remain highly collectible, with Lincoln Center Ticket standing as a striking example of his ability to turn everyday visuals into captivating, thought-provoking art.

Lincoln Centre Ticket is available through Caviar 20 where I am currently consigning it.
