Flowers (Hand Colored)
1974
A delicate and intimate work from Warhol's 'Flowers (Hand Colored)' series, depicting a single pink peony in a pink bottle-shaped vase resting on an outstretched hand rendered in ink and wash. The piece combines the mechanical precision of silkscreen with the spontaneity of hand-applied watercolor, creating a uniquely personal object within Warhol's typically industrialized practice. The composition is elegant and spare, with gestural black ink hatching contrasting against soft pink washes. A rare example of Warhol's hand-finishing technique, this work bridges his commercial sensibility with direct artistic touch.
