Edition

Edition of 250 plus 35 AP , 8 PP , 80 TP

This screenprint depicts Saint Apollonia, the patron saint of dentistry, rendered in Warhol's distinctive Pop Art style. The composition features the saint holding pincers, referencing her martyrdom in which her teeth were violently extracted. Warhol employs his signature high-contrast color blocking and bold outlines, transforming the traditional religious iconography into a striking contemporary image. The work is executed on Essex Offset Kid Finish paper, creating a smooth surface that enhances the vibrant inks and sharp registration characteristic of Warhol's mature screenprinting technique. Created in 1984, this piece belongs to Warhol's later explorations of religious themes, demonstrating his continued interest in bridging high and low culture, sacred and secular imagery. The work exemplifies how Warhol democratized art by applying commercial printing techniques to classical subject matter, making profound statements about contemporary visual culture. This screenprint represents an important aspect of Warhol's oeuvre beyond his celebrated celebrity portraits, offering collectors a compelling example of his enduring meditation on icons and mythology.
