In the Bottom of My Garden: one plate (See Feldman & Schellmann IV.105)
This circa 1956 offset lithograph by Andy Warhol showcases the artist's early exploration of printmaking before his iconic pop art period, combining the mechanical precision of lithographic printing with hand finished watercolor details. The work's modest dimensions and unknown edition size suggest it represents an experimental phase in Warhol's practice, when he was transitioning from commercial illustration toward fine art. The hand coloring of this botanical subject demonstrates Warhol's interest in elevating everyday imagery through artistic intervention, a technique and thematic concern that would define his later groundbreaking contributions to contemporary art.
