Andy Warhol Space Fruit: Still Lifes, Cantaloupes F.S. II 201 For Sale

Edition

Edition of 150 plus 1 PP , 30 numbered in Roman Numerals

This vibrant screenprint presents a close-up view of cantaloupes rendered in Warhol's distinctive Pop Art style. The composition features the melon's characteristic netted skin and internal flesh in bold, saturated hues that transcend naturalistic representation. Warhol's signature screenprinting technique creates areas of flat, intense color punctuated by graphic contrast, transforming an ordinary fruit into an object of visual fascination. The large-scale format on premium Lenox Museum Board elevates this humble subject matter, while the rich pigmentation and sharp registration demonstrate the technical precision characteristic of Warhol's mature print production. Created as part of the Space Fruit series commissioned to celebrate the first meal eaten in space, this work represents Warhol's continued exploration of consumerism and American culture in his later career. The series bridges his earlier Campbell's Soup and Coca-Cola imagery with cosmic-age optimism, making everyday objects both monumental and otherworldly. This screenprint exemplifies Warhol's enduring influence on contemporary art and remains highly collectible as a pristine example from a significant limited-edition portfolio.
