Andy Warhol Saint Apollonia F.S. II 331 For Sale

Edition

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

This screenprint depicts Saint Apollonia, the patron saint of dentistry and those suffering from toothache, rendered in Warhol's distinctive Pop Art style. The image shows the saint holding pincers, the instrument of her martyrdom, executed in bold blocks of color characteristic of the artist's silkscreen technique. Created on Essex Offset Kid Finish paper, the work demonstrates Warhol's masterful manipulation of commercial printing processes to transform religious iconography into contemporary visual language. The vivid palette and graphic treatment give this traditional subject matter an immediate, accessible quality. Part of Warhol's later explorations of religious and historical themes, this 1984 work represents the artist's continued fascination with icons and celebrity across all spheres, from Hollywood to hagiography. The piece exemplifies his ability to democratize imagery while maintaining its symbolic power. As a work from the final period of Warhol's career, it holds particular significance for collectors interested in his mature artistic development and his ongoing dialogue between sacred and popular culture.
