Signed on verso
116cm x 75cm
Andy Warhol's Cow series, initially created in 1966, marks a playful yet bold exploration of commercial imagery and repetition. Featuring large, brightly colored screen prints of a cow’s head against vivid backgrounds, the series exemplifies Warhol’s fascination with everyday subjects elevated to art through mass production techniques. Suggested by art dealer Ivan Karp, the cow motif was seen as “a durable, pastoral, American image,” and Warhol's treatment turned it into an absurdly iconic visual. The Cow series captures the essence of Pop Art—blurring the line between the mundane and the monumental.
