The present work comes with general object description stating the general attributes of the artwork. Offering a fine Pop art mixed media (acrylic, ink, etc.) painting depicting a Bighorn Ram. Andy Warhol’s Endangered Species series was born out of a conversation between Warhol & Ronald Feldman, concerning the ecological issue of beach erosion. Given Warhol’s curiosity with animals, he was eager to take on the project proposed to him by Feldman. The resulting artworks highlight endangered animals in a colorful, upbeat manner, which Warhol described as “animals in make up”. His focus on the animals in isolation, with the pop-art palette, puts them on a level of superstardom along with the infamous screenprints of his past: Marilyn Monroe, Liz Taylor & Muhammad Ali. The viewer consequently regards the animals in the same immortalizing light as those celebrities. The artwork appears to have a gallery stamp on verso, or it may be the name of the previous collection & a collection reference number next to it. Shipped with care. We ship world wide.
