Andy Warhol — Volkswagen (Feldman & Schellmann II.358)
Andy Warhol

Volkswagen (Feldman & Schellmann II.358)

Andy Warhol's 1985 Volkswagen screenprint exemplifies his iconic approach to consumer culture and mass production, elevating the humble automobile to fine art through vibrant color and repetition. Created in an edition of 190 prints, this large-scale work on Lenox Museum Board showcases Warhol's signature technique of silkscreen printing, demonstrating his fascination with commercial subjects and industrial reproduction methods. The composition reflects Warhol's broader artistic project of blurring distinctions between high art and everyday consumer goods, transforming the Volkswagen into a subject worthy of gallery display through bold chromatic variations and mechanical precision.
