Susan Sheehan Gallery is delighted to present 10 exemplary prints made by some of the most important artists of the 20th century in our 2021 EXPO Chicago Online Viewing Room. This robust collection of editioned artworks celebrates printmaking and the artists who used the medium to expand and supplement their creative practices.
We are pleased to present this selection of prints including Andy Warhol's iconic 1964 offset lithograph, "Liz." Read on below and click on the video to learn more about this exceptional work.
This offset lithograph by Pop artist Andy Warhol (1928-1987) depicts one of his most iconic subjects, Elizabeth Taylor. Taylor was one of the most famous women in the world at the time, and thus served as a natural choice of subject matter for the celebrity-obsessed artist. But Warhol was also fascinated by death and tragedy, and in 1963, Taylor caught a life-threatening case of pneumonia, inspiring his first paintings of the movie-star. Warhol created this work a year later from the same closely cropped photo of Taylor using his signature flat planes of bright colors. The print was likely produced in an edition of 300—although Warhol did not keep track of the exact number produced—and conceived at the original Midtown Manhattan location of his infamous studio known as The Factory.
