Andy Warhol Gems F.S. II 186 For Sale

Edition

Edition of 20 plus 5 AP, 1 PP, 2 PP numbered in Roman Numerals

This 1978 screenprint captures Warhol's fascination with luxury and desire through his depiction of precious gemstones. The composition features brilliant cuts of diamonds and jewels rendered in his signature high-contrast style, with saturated colors that transform these symbols of wealth into bold graphic elements. Created on Strathmore Bristol paper, the work demonstrates Warhol's mastery of the screenprinting technique, layering vibrant inks to achieve both flatness and luminosity. The substantial scale of thirty by forty inches gives these gemstones an imposing presence that mirrors their status as objects of aspiration. The Gems series represents a significant moment in Warhol's late career, extending his exploration of American consumerism and status symbols beyond the soup cans and celebrity portraits that defined his earlier work. These prints appeal to collectors seeking iconic Warhol imagery that embodies the intersection of commerce, art, and glamour that defined his practice. The work remains highly collectible as part of a complete portfolio series. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
