Electric Chair
1971
Andy Warhol's 1971 screenprint depicts the infamous electric chair in his characteristic deadpan style. The work employs repetition and bold color blocking to transform a symbol of death into a pop art icon. The composition shows the empty chair in a stark institutional setting rendered in vivid hues. This piece reflects Warhol's fascination with death, danger, and American obsessions presented through his silkscreen technique.
