Andy Warhol — Watermelon from Space Fruit: Still Lifes (Feldman & Schellmann II.199)
Andy Warhol

Watermelon from Space Fruit: Still Lifes (Feldman & Schellmann II.199)

This 1979 screenprint by Andy Warhol presents a vibrant watermelon as part of his Space Fruit series, employing the artist's signature Pop Art technique of bold, flattened colors and mechanical reproduction to transform a commonplace object into high art. The work is a unique trial proof, distinguished from the published edition of 150 prints, authenticated by the Estate of Andy Warhol and bearing the artist's initials and estate number. Printed on large scale Strathmore Bristol paper at 765 by 1016 millimeters, the image extends to the full edges of the sheet, exemplifying Warhol's characteristic approach to elevating consumer goods and everyday items into subjects worthy of fine art scrutiny.
