"Kiku (F. & S. II.307)" is a screenprint created by American artist Andy Warhol in 1983. This artwork is part of a series of three prints, collectively titled "Kiku (F. & S. II.307-309)", each measuring approximately 19 ⅝ by 26 inches (49.8 by 66 cm). The series was executed in an edition of 300, plus 30 artist's proofs.
The prints were produced in collaboration with printers Rupert Jasen Smith of New York and Ryoichi Ishida of Tokyo. They were published by the Gendai Hanga Center in Tokyo, which is also indicated by a blindstamp on each piece.
These works exemplify Warhol's fascination with Japanese culture, as "kiku" is the Japanese word for "chrysanthemum," a flower symbolizing longevity and rejuvenation. Warhol's "Kiku" series reflects his enduring interest in blending Eastern and Western artistic influences.
The series has been featured in various auctions, including Sotheby's Contemporary Art Day Auction in May 2021, where it was estimated to be valued between $40,000 and $60,000 USD.
