Andy Warhol, Flowers, 1964.
Warhol’s Flowers began with a photograph of hibiscus blossoms by Patricia Caulfield, published in Modern Photographyin 1964. Warhol cropped and flattened the image, heightened its contrast, and transformed it through color and repetition. This offset lithograph was published by Leo Castelli Gallery to coincide with Warhol’s Flower Paintings exhibition that same year.
Framed at DDG in welded aluminum with a polished face, based on the classic Kulicke profile. Developed by artist and frame maker Robert Kulicke in collaboration with MoMA in the 1950s, the thin welded aluminum frame became closely associated with the presentation of postwar American art.
For Warhol, it feels particularly at home: a distinctly midcentury New York frame surrounding an image that helped define Pop Art in New York less than a decade later.
