Flowers
1964
A quintessential example of Warhol's celebrated Flowers series, this intimate 5×5 inch canvas presents four bold yellow hibiscus-like blooms against a high-contrast black-and-white photographic foliage ground. The silkscreen technique flattens the organic forms into graphic, near-abstract shapes, embodying Warhol's signature Pop transformation of nature into commodity. As a unique work hand-signed by the artist, it carries the full weight of Warhol's Factory-era output in a remarkably collectible small format. A Certificate of Authenticity issued by the gallery accompanies the work.

Artists in conversation
Donald Sultan
American · b. 1951
Sultan creates large scale floral paintings that similarly flatten organic botanical forms into bold graphic shapes using a silkscreen influenced visual language, transforming flowers into near abstract color fields that echo Warhols Pop commodification of nature.
Walasse Ting
American · b. 1929
Ting produced vibrant small to medium format paintings of flowers and nature rendered in high contrast bold colors with flattened graphic forms, sharing the same Factory era Pop sensibility and decorative intensity found in this specific Warhol hibiscus composition.
Lowell Nesbitt
American · b. 1933
Nesbitt was a close contemporary of Warhol who specialized in large floral paintings using silkscreen and printmaking techniques that similarly isolate blooms against stark contrasting grounds, creating the same graphic Pop transformation of botanical subjects into bold commodified imagery.
