Flowers (Hand Colored)
1974
A rare hand-colored silkscreen by Andy Warhol depicting a lush floral bouquet rendered in fluid black ink line work accented with washes of sage green and pale blue watercolor. The loose, gestural quality of the coloring gives this work a painterly intimacy distinct from Warhol's purely mechanical prints. Part of Warhol's celebrated Flowers series, this 1974 work bridges his commercial print practice and his roots as a hand-illustrator. Held in the Bruce Museum collection, it was gifted by prominent collector Peter M. Brant.
