About this work

Flowers (Black and White) (FS. II 104) is one of ten screenprints from Andy Warhol’s Flowers (Black and White) portfolio, created in 1974. This series, along with its colorful counterpart Flowers (Hand-Colored), was inspired by floral designs found in a commercial wallpaper catalogue titled Interpretive Flower Designs. While both portfolios are based on the same set of floral illustrations, their execution offers distinctly different visual experiences. In contrast to the vibrantly embellished Hand-Colored works, the Black and White prints are rendered solely in ink on white paper, drawing attention to the elegance of line, balance, and compositional structure.These works signal a return to Warhol’s roots in hand-drawn illustration, recalling the delicate, whimsical linework of his 1950s commercial art. By removing color and focusing exclusively on form, Warhol highlights the expressive potential of drawing within the medium of screenprinting—a process typically associated with mechanical precision and mass production.Floral imagery remained a constant motif in Warhol’s practice, revisited across decades and media. From the bold, silkscreened hibiscus blooms of the 1960s to the simplified, expressive renderings in this 1974 portfolio, Warhol continuously reimagined the flower as a visual and symbolic subject. Each variation reflected a different facet of his evolving style and conceptual approach.Flowers (Black and White) 104 stands apart for its restraint and intimacy. Where the 1970 Flowers series embraced graphic repetition and intense color, this print is more subtle and introspective. The fluid, imperfect lines suggest the artist’s hand, offering a glimpse of spontaneity rarely visible in his more polished, mass-produced works. This personal touch distinguishes the Black and White series from Warhol’s other screenprints, which often emphasize detachment through mechanical execution.In Flowers (Black and White) (FS. II 104), Warhol subverts the expectations associated with Pop Art. Rather than presenting a brash, commercial image, he delivers a quiet, contemplative composition that focuses on organic rhythm and design. The choice to use black ink only emphasizes the purity of the floral forms, allowing viewers to appreciate the subtleties of gesture and composition often overshadowed in more colorful works.These prints blur the line between drawing and printmaking, between the unique and the reproducible. While screenprinting was Warhol’s signature technique, Flowers (Black and White) challenges the notion of the process as cold or impersonal. Instead, the prints reveal a sensitivity and grace that speak to the artist’s versatility and his ongoing interest in reinterpreting visual language.Andy Warhol’s Flowers (Black and White) 104 captures a quieter, more introspective side of the artist’s creative legacy. Through its focus on line, form, and the delicate beauty of floral imagery, the work invites reflection on Warhol’s depth as a draftsman and his ability to elevate simple subjects through nuanced execution. Positioned within the broader context of his prolific career, this print offers a powerful counterpoint to the bold spectacle of Warhol’s Pop Art, reaffirming his status as a master of both style and substance.For more information on Andy Warhol's Flowers (Black and White) (FS.

Andy Warhol (1928–1987) is the defining figure of American Pop Art and the most commercially traded artist of the twentieth century. Born Andrew Warhola in Pittsburgh to Slovak immigrant parents, he rose from commercial illustrator to the architect of a cultural movement that permanently dissolved the boundary between fine art and mass media. His Manhattan studio, The Factory, became the epicentre of New York art and celebrity culture from the early 1960s until his death in February 1987.

Andy Warhol Art For Sale

Andy Warhol art for sale spans an extraordinary range of subjects, media, and price points — from intimate drawings and unique canvas paintings to large signed editions. His signature subjects include Campbell's Soup Cans, Marilyn Monroe, Mao Zedong, Dollar Signs, Flowers, Reigning Queens, Cowboys and Indians, the Ads portfolio, and the late Cars and Endangered Species series. Each body of work reflects his obsessive engagement with repetition, celebrity, and commodity culture.

The market benchmark for Warhol was set in May 2022 when Shot Sage Blue Marilyn (1964) sold at Christie's New York for $195 million — the highest price ever achieved at auction for an American artwork. Recent print sales confirm sustained institutional demand: Mao editions achieved $4,648,000 each at Christie's in May 2025; Flowers editions achieved $4,076,000 and $3,832,000 at Sotheby's in the same season.

Andy Warhol Paintings For Sale

Andy Warhol paintings for sale — unique acrylics and silkscreens on canvas — represent the rarest and most valuable tier of his output. Subjects produced in multiple unique variations include Flowers, Skulls, Shadows, Dollar Signs, and the late Oxidation Paintings. The Rorschach series (1984) and Camouflage works appeal strongly to institutional collectors. Abstract Expressionism paintings from the late 1970s and early 1980s remain undervalued relative to his iconic print series and represent a compelling collecting opportunity.

Andy Warhol paintings require substantial documentation: exhibition history, gallery receipts, and provenance tracing to The Factory or first-generation dealers. Prices range from mid-five figures for works on paper to eight figures for major canvas paintings. Our team can advise on current pricing and condition assessment across all painting categories.

Andy Warhol Prints For Sale

Warhol's screenprints represent the most accessible and widely collected segment of his output. Andy Warhol prints for sale range from early unsigned offset lithographs to hand-signed, numbered editions produced with Castelli Graphics, Factory Editions, and Ronald Feldman Fine Arts. Signed, numbered editions from key series — Marilyn Monroe (1967), Flowers (1970), Mao (1972), Ads (1985), Endangered Species (1983), Cowboys and Indians (1986), and Reigning Queens (1985) — command the strongest collector demand and the deepest secondary market liquidity.

Condition, provenance, and edition size are the critical variables. Works printed on Lenox Museum Board or high-grade rag paper with consistent registration and original colouration are the most desirable. Fading, foxing, or retouching materially affects value.

Andy Warhol Cars Prints For Sale

The Cars portfolio (F.S. II.356–362), produced in 1985 as a commission from Mercedes-Benz to mark the centenary of the automobile, stands among the most refined of Warhol's late print series. Ten screenprints on Lenox Museum Board render historic Mercedes-Benz models in Warhol's characteristic flat colour and photographic silkscreen technique — his iconic commercial sensibility applied to the history of industrial design. Signed and numbered in editions of 100, with separate artist's proofs, the Cars series regularly achieves $25,000–$75,000 per impression and commands significant premiums when offered as complete portfolios.

Andy Warhol Late Paintings and Works on Paper

Warhol's production in the final decade of his life — broadly 1978 to 1987 — encompasses some of his most conceptually ambitious work. The Knives series (1981–82), Guns series (1981–82), and Crosses (1981–82) form a trilogy of loaded American objects rendered in the same neutral Pop vocabulary he had applied to Soup Cans twenty years earlier. The Boots and Dollar Bills paintings sit alongside late unique canvases from the Camouflage series (1986–87) and the haunting Last Supper paintings completed weeks before his death. Works from this period are systematically underrepresented in collector awareness relative to their importance to the broader catalogue and represent genuine long-term collecting opportunities.

Andy Warhol Self Portrait Prints For Sale

Andy Warhol self portrait prints are among the most sought-after works in his catalogue — a subject he returned to from 1966 to 1986. The most collected examples include:

  • Self Portrait F.S. II.7 (1966) — the iconic fist-to-chin composition in vivid Pop colourways
  • Self Portrait F.S. II.12–22 (1978) — nine large-format prints; auction results regularly $80,000–$250,000
  • Self Portrait with Fright Wig (1986) — produced a year before his death; widely regarded as his definitive late statement
  • Camouflage Self Portrait F.S. II.316 (1986) — the artist dissolved into his own imagery

Self portrait prices range from $18,000 for early unsigned screenprints to $400,000+ for the 1978 and 1986 signed works in excellent condition. Authentication requires reference to the Feldman & Schellmann catalogue raisonné and, where applicable, a former Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board certificate.
