Shadows V, 1979
Portfolio of two unique screen prints with diamond dust on Arches 88 paper
43 x 30 in 109.2 x 76.2 cm
Edition
Edition of 10 plus 1 PP, 6 HC
This striking portfolio presents two unique screenprints from Warhol's ambitious Shadows series, where the artist transformed a simple silhouette into a meditation on abstraction and seriality. Each print features bold, gestural forms rendered in luminous layers of ink and embellished with diamond dust, which catches light across the surface of the fine Arches 88 paper. The shimmering effect creates an ever-changing visual experience, with the diamond dust lending an unexpected glamour to what might otherwise read as purely abstract compositions. Created in 1979, these works represent a pivotal moment when Warhol returned to painting and printmaking with renewed vigor, challenging perceptions of his practice beyond portraiture. The Shadows series marked his most extensive exploration of abstraction, originally conceived as an ambitious installation of over one hundred canvases. These screenprints capture that experimental spirit while offering collectors an accessible entry point into this celebrated body of work, complete with the luxurious material quality that defines Warhol's late career.
