II.354) avec le paragraphe de recommandation mis à jour, URLs propres et ancres intégrées dans des phrases descriptives : Chanel, from Ads (F. & S. II.354) is an original screenprint executed in 1985 by Andy Warhol — the defining figure of American Pop Art and one of the most celebrated, historically significant, and widely collected artists of the twentieth century — signed and numbered to the lower left, from the edition of 190, printed by Rupert Jasen Smith in New York and published by Ronald Feldman Fine Arts, Inc., New York. Catalogued as Feldman & Schellmann II.354 — the definitive scholarly reference for Warhol's printed oeuvre — and coming from a Japanese Private Collection, this large-format work represents an acquisition of exceptional historical importance, cultural resonance, and collector significance from the very heart of Warhol's late career. Andy Warhol occupies a position of absolute centrality in the history of twentieth-century art. Born in Pittsburgh in 1928, Warhol transformed the landscape of American art in the early 1960s with a body of work that took the most ubiquitous images of American consumer culture — Campbell's Soup cans, Coca-Cola bottles, dollar bills, celebrity portraits — and subjected them to a process of serial reproduction, chromatic manipulation, and conceptual reframing that simultaneously celebrated and critiqued the logic of mass production, media saturation, and the commodification of desire at the heart of American capitalism. The work is in good condition. There is slight fading due to aging and light exposure throughout the surface. There are scuffs, small flaking of ink, and bumps along the edges due to framing. The verso has minor soiling, thought to be in its original condition. Full condition report available upon request. That same fascination with icon and celebrity, applied to the century's most photographed face, defines Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn) (1967), from Warhol's landmark ten-print portfolio. A very different, art-historical dialogue can be found in Uccello, St. George and the Dragon (1984), a screenprint applying his chromatic transformation to a Renaissance masterpiece — both available now at Lynart Gallery.
