Pop Art Andy Warhol The Thirteen Most Wanted Men, John Joseph H. No. 11, from: Dossier 2357. 1967. Serigraph in black and grey on wove paper. 20.9 x 16.9 cm. In original envelope, with the complete exhibition documentation. - Stapled in upper left corner due to the work, verso very slightly browned in outer margins, booklet and white pages slightly browned in outer margins, cover with slight pressure mark and surface rubbing at top front, overall very good. Splendid, rich impression of the format-filling image. Not in Feldman/Schellmann. - After the work of the same name on canvas, which is in the Saatchi London collection. - Edited by Galerie Ileana Sonnabend, Paris, as part of the publication accompanying the exhibition. - Andy Warhol was invited to design the façade of the pavilion of the state of the same name at the 1964 World's Fair in New York. Contrary to the expectation that he would present an America with typical commercial motifs such as Coca Cola bottles and the like, he screen-printed portraits of 13 of the FBI's most wanted men on a 30-metre-wide canvas that was placed around the Circarama, a circular cinema in the exhibition complex. The portraits are oversized mugshots of predominantly Italian-American men. They show an open, disarming, even moving rendition of human representation in public space. Shortly after the installation of the work and before the opening of the world exhibition, Warhol was ordered to remove the canvas, whereupon he made it unrecognisable in silver, probably his most characteristic colour. What remains is an empty, large canvas that fades away like a mute sound. Silk-screen in black and grey on wove paper. In original cover, with complete exhibition documentation. - Due to work in upper left corner stapled, very hardly browned in outer margins on the verso, cover and included white pages in outer margins hardly browned, cover at top front with slight pressure mark and superficial abrasion, all in all very good. Splendid, rich impression of the format-filling depiction. - After the same-named work on canvas in the collection Saatchi London. - Publ. by Galerie Ileana Sonnabend, Paris, as part of the publication accompanying the exhibition. - From: Dossier 2357 - Andy Warhol was invited to design the façade of the pavilion of the state of the same name at the 1964 World's Fair in New York.
