Andy Warhol, Paris Review, 1967, Lt ed Numbered, Stamp Signed

Andy Warhol

SOLD

Description

For true Warhol fans, this fantastic early screenprint on cream wove paper from the fabulous 1960s is printed with black and red ink and has die cut holes to resemble a liquor store receipt.

It was made during a time in which Warhol was contemplating the everyday receipt as an art object. The work was part of a series of prints created as a fundraiser for the Paris Review literary publication over the years by more than 50 renowned artists, including Robert Indiana, Roy Lichtenstein, Ellsworth Kelly, Helen Frankenthaler, Christo, Willem de Kooning, Louise Bourgeois

One of the New York founders of the Review, George Plimpton, was known for his wild parties at his Upper East Side apartment (which doubled as the Paris Review office), blocks away from the liquor store where Warhol bought alcohol. For his contribution to the Paris Reviewprint series, Warhol enlarged a receipt from Regency Wine & Liquor and made it out for two bottles of Blair House scotch and one of vodka. The print illustrates what George Plimpton, called Warhol’s "notion that the banal is indeed not," and it is indeed a homage to Regency Wine & Liquor as well as perhaps Plimpton's legendary parties. It is stamped with Andy Warhol's famous rubber stamp signature.

An iconic 1960s print for true Warhol fans, fully referenced in the catalogue raisonne Feldman & Schellmann.
