Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa painting premiered in NY in 1963, and the public’s fascination inspired fame-obsessed Warhol to create a tribute. These are among Andy’s earliest works using silkscreening to efficiently make multiples of preexisting images. Flavor Paper’s Mona Lisa is achieved by alternating five silkscreens to achieve intentionally varied prints in size, composition, and color. The resulting installation is a dynamic mural rather than a static pattern.
Renaissance is a handscreened beauty with Mona printed in peachy terracotta, thistle, grape and rose variations on a shimmery platinum clay coated paper.
Andy Warhol was a leading figure in the pop art movement of the 1960s and is considered one of the most important artists of the late 20th Century. The Andy Warhol x Flavor Paper Collection represents our interpretations of Warhol's work—some iconic and others handpicked from deep in the artist's archives—released in a globally exclusive partnership with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, which has been ongoing since 2013.
