Andy Warhol: Hammer and Sickle – A Bold Reimagining of Political Iconography
In 1976, Andy Warhol transitioned from his iconic celebrity portraits to explore the Hammer and Sickle, a series that captured the tension and graphic allure of the Cold War's most potent symbol. Rather than a purely political statement, Warhol treated these objects as part of a classic 'Still Life,' meticulously arranging a Champion hammer and a sickle to study their formal properties. This museum-quality reproduction captures the stark contrasts and bold lines that define Warhol’s later silkscreen aesthetic.
